Why? Why 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:25.880 is that? I guess it was called synergy Jaysian? Yeah, 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.760 but everyone or or that I'm annoying either one of 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.960 the two little probably a little bit of both. And 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.600 Doug called in, and and Doug called in, and Doug 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:38.559 called in kind of dig it. It is cool.

It's cool 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:44.839 to feel like you're kind of part of something. You know, 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.640 we've we've had this in two places now, so it's 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.519 it's a it's a need deal. Have you Memorial Day 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:54.240 to you? Yes? A Memorial Day? Uh. The the unofficial 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:59.360 end of quarantine I think was truthfully probably last weekend, 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.600 but being out and about in Los Angeles as I 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.800 know you live, like, uh, yeah, it's it's over. It's 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.680 we've we've we've made it. Whether or not. The the 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:14.800 scientists and sheriffs and police officers. Uh, the the social 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.759 distancing thing is like, yeah, we're kind of which, We'll 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.200 still do the mask thing and we go to pick 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.440 up our takeout, but it feels like it's a bit 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.360 a bit over. Yeah. This this weekend felt like it 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.360 was the this was the tipping point too. All right, 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.199 we we've we've done the quarantine and now at some point, 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.080 I think everybody, no matter where you are as far 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.920 as reopening, if you're someone who stays home all the time, 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:35.480 if you go out, you wear a mask, and the 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.560 social distance whatever it is, it feels like we we've 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.920 made to that next level now you know what whatever 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.600 whatever that level is for us, if it's going to 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.319 be restaurants reopening pretty soon, you know, going out. But 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.440 I agree because this weekend I felt like, you know, 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.280 not just seeing the news and and you know, obviously 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.760 when you see videos and of of you know, crowded 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.280 beaches and and you know, parties in the ozarks, and 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.600 I just think of Jason Bateman, Laura Lenny, you know, 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.320 you see all pictures of this, you go, Okay, hopefully 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.760 we don't rush too far, but we're Okay, everything is 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.600 just fine now and we're you know, a foot from 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.680 everybody and not social distancing. But I think it's different, 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.760 Like like this weekend, we had a couple of our 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.240 our best friends over and you know, they practice social distancings. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.560 We're okay with having them over and we you know, 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.040 we had dinner together on on Saturday, and it was 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.200 really cool and it was fun. And you know, still 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.920 you know, our daughters, our best friends, so we're like, okay, 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.040 don't get too close to each other still, but you know, 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.160 everything is, you know, it's all right, you know, you know, 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.120 play and have fun. And I gotta say it was 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.480 it was like a fresh breeze that came through. And 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.800 I think as long as you can do something like 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.600 this and continue to wear masks, you said, wear masks 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.239 and not get inside people's space, because that's going to 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.040 be a big thing. You know, you could get next 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.000 to people in the store, they're gonna go, hey, hey, hey, dude, 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:51.720 come on, man, come on, you can stay six feet 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.160 away from me. I think we've we've passed that to that. 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.400 Whatever we are doing, that next phase of for the 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.760 American people, for us, we're at that right now. Yeah, yeah, 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.520 we we. I took my kids to a buddy's house 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.640 yesterday and one of his two kids just you know, 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.040 like some kids are really really social, and they had 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.040 done they had kept their kids away from everybody. And 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.920 so even though there was an age gap of you know, 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.880 like U two or three years with my youngest with 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.040 their youngest, like the two of them are playing in 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.480 their pool like they're their best friends. And if I 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.040 went to if I went to get my son and 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.960 woke come up and said, hey, what was that girl's name? 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.120 You played with yesterday for seven hours? But no idea, 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:39.360 no idea none. That's being a kid, right. Being to 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.520 being a kid is you cannot know someone and have 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:46.640 my best friend five minutes later and then five minutes 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.840 after that not know the other person's name, just like 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.480 I don't know that girls. She was cool, that was 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.080 fun on a play with her again, h yeah sure 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.559 yeah great, can be warm. Yeah we're there. Cool. Absolutely. 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.440 Did you watch the match yesterday? Yeah? You know what, Honestly, 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:05.000 going into it, it wasn't my thing because it just 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.000 it just wasn't I'm like, you know, how how much 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.200 do I really want to see? You know, Tiger and 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.880 Peyton play golf against Phil and Brady, and I'm like, 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.200 you know, because it's just a It just had the 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.600 feel to me of this is something that you know, 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.200 a few years ago they would tape and run in 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.200 the off season, right like this, Hey, you know this 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.960 is like a perk, you know, for for Phil and 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.560 and and uh and Tiger and Brady and man, yeah, 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.240 we we're gonna tape this and run it in the 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:29.920 off season, kind of like you know, you get the 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.560 Pro Bowl Skills Challenge or something on a beach. You know. 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:34.880 You know, it wasn't it wasn't kind of my thing. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:36.800 But I gotta say when I had it on and 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.800 you know, we're doing things around the house and and 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.760 kind of checking in, it was kind of fun. You know. 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.560 I don't know, I don't know what it was. I 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.280 just think it it struck the right tone of, Hey, 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.600 we're gonna have sports here. We are having fun doing 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.600 it the right way. And and it's it's four of 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.240 the biggest stars in all of sports. You know, Barkley 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.600 is talking on the broadcast, and you're getting a bit 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.960 of trash talk between the the you know, between everybody, 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.360 and I was I was pleasantly surprised with how much 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.040 I enjoyed watching it, and I did enjoy tom Brady 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.800 getting made fun of on Twitter for the most part too. Yeah, well, 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.200 I mean that's I think why you didn't want to 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.880 watch as your better AFC Jets fan watching You know, 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:18.119 the two guys that stuck a knife through any AFC 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:24.040 fans hard for for years play golf. Um'm I'm gonna 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.880 be the guy. I'm gonna be the guy and say, like, 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:30.800 I like tom Brady, but there's just doesn't feel like 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.279 like Tom Brady and Hot Mike they it's nothing. They 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.120 don't mix. There's just not a lot to him in 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.239 terms of he doesn't have. He's not Peyton and VARs 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:45.800 trash talk, he's not a dude. He's like again, obviously 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.760 he's a better golfer than I am. And you know 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.680 what's amazing about that thing is I don't care how 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.560 good a golfer you are, if you and or how 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.920 good a football player you are, and people think, well, 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.520 you have the the ability to process all the pressure 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.760 and still you know, perform, like that's great, but golf 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.479 is not what you do. And when you got a 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.440 camera following around every shot, like thinking about when you 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.760 play your even your best golf match, there's a camera 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.560 following you all your best golf match, there would be 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.680 a shot to where you're really really embarrassed. Right, they're just, oh, 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.960 my gosh, I can't believe I clanked that one. So 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.600 for the first for the most part, they were all spectacular. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.600 I mean, I know those guys are good golfers, but 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.560 to perform that well with that big an audience was 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.000 pretty special. But I just you know, like Tom Brady is, 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:38.080 like you've had this. Everyone wanted to book Derek Jeter 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.200 as a guest when he was a Yankee, Like the 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.159 big booking was like can he get Derek Jeter? And 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.160 then you get Derek Jeter. And Derek Jeter doesn't have 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.719 much to say. You know, he's he's a he's good looking, 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.320 he's classy. I'm sure he has some swag, otherwise he 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.000 wouldn't be running game to all the beautiful women before 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:56.920 you end up getting married. And I'm sure that Tom 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.600 Brady has that too, just not with a hot mic on. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.560 And so there was just it wasn't a lot there 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.600 there for me, you know, Tiger and Phil. I feel 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.960 like there should have been. I mean, Tiger was in 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.640 a different mode. Obviously the rain didn't help it either. 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.440 You have the rain early in the rain late, it 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.800 didn't help it, and they kind of just trudged through it. 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:22.000 But it was it was very nice background entertainment and 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:23.720 it was one of those it's good to have golf 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.640 on his background entertainment. But now we need the real, 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.160 the big boy sports to step up. Yeah. You know, 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.960 the thing with Brady is that, you know, unless you're 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.120 asking him about health and wellness, I don't know what 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.960 you're gonna get. Like if you if they had said, hey, 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.520 tod boy, I'll tell you, if you'd warn your TB 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.720 twelve pajamas, maybe that shot would have gone in. He 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.880 would have talked for ten minutes. He was well, you know, 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.160 the benefits of TB twelve pajamas are proven. He would 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.280 have started going through this whole thing. But that's just 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.840 not who he is, you know. I mean, it's it's 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.280 hard because we were so surprised at Peyton Manning. You know, 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.520 like nobody thought Peyton Manning handy personality, Like when he 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.520 came into the league and he was good and it 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.640 was wow. If Peyton Manning's coming in. He's gonna take 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.840 over and and winning all, you know, winning as much 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.040 as he did during the regular season, he would falter 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.800 during the playoffs. He kind of had the opinion of 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.760 him was kind of like, of Eli Manning, here's a 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.880 guy that's really good. Buddy falls short. You know, his 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.160 body language on the field, you see the looks on 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.560 his faces. Boy, Peyton Manning kind of looks sour. And 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.440 but then suddenly he started doing things like hosting SNL 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.800 and doing these direct TV commercials and now doing the 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:30.760 commercial the NASCAR commercials and doing commercials for insurance companies, 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.400 and you realize, Wow, this guy's got a personality and 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.240 it's and it's carefully crafted, and it's not something where 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.480 he talks all the time, but he always seems to 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.400 have something fun to say. And Brady's not like that. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.559 Brady is someone who will talk and will say things, 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.680 but he's always so guarded when whatever he is talking about, 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.160 because he's never been someone to lay somebody out or 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.520 to throw somebody under the bus or say anything. And 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.640 even you know, Peyton was someone who did that during 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.920 his career. When he called Mike Vanderjack idiot, kicker. Uh, 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.320 you know, miss missing missing field goals for us to 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.959 not advance in the playoffs. But Brady, the thing is, 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.520 Brady's just not that guy, and his personality is kind 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.200 of awkward, and certain times when I've seen him do 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.800 well has always been scripted, Like when he was on Entour, 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.600 I don't know, you're an Entourage guy, when when it 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.000 was on all right, when he guests started Entourage, when 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.520 he played golf with with he was playing with with 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.600 Turtle and they had the whole back and forth about 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.199 how how much Turtles, a Giants fan, didn't want to 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.480 talk to Brady. I mean that was fun. But obviously, 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.120 you know, Brady's given the lines to say and he 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.280 executes them. But just like kind of freestyling on the course, 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.720 you could tell that's not his forte And when he 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.240 holed in, you could tell he just if cameras were on, 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.520 he'd want to just blankety blank Charles Barkley the entire way. 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.000 Do you get to like he was close to a 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.320 boiling point at that point during the first night Front 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:50.160 nine because he just wasn't very good. No, uh, he wasn't. 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.199 And it's you know, you gotta he's obviously super classy 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:54.719 dude doesn't want to lose this stuff. I would have 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.920 thrown a club, you know, I would have My reaction 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.440 would have been different. Yeah, his pants even split, right, 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.400 I kept it together. That was that was pretty pretty amazing. 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.880 I don't know, like, you know, my my takeaway was 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.480 like it actually felt a little bit more like a 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.120 Reagan Memorial Weekend, with the exception of the NBA playoffs. 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:13.800 That's we're missing because Memorial Weekend, we you know, we 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.240 had the indeed five hundred, which I don't I mean 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.880 as a kid, I used to watch, but I can't 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.400 say that I've I've paid that much attention to recently. 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.760 There's always golf on, which again it'll be on his 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.880 background and I'll watch some. That part is normal, but 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.800 no baseball, no basketball, no like one game to tune into. 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.680 We're still missing kind of that that next step and 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.520 getting us back to some sort of normalcy. Yeah, and 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.679 for me, Memorial Day is such a big baseball day. 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.640 Like Look, there's certain days during the during the calendar year, 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.439 there are benchmark days right for for for certain things, 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.600 and baseball has Memorial Day. Baseball has Fourth of July 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.719 and also has Labor Day, right where where are we? 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:54.960 You know, right now we should be talking about where 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:56.480 the you know, the teams are out of the gate 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.800 the first two months, who's contending because now you're two 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.160 months in and and where do we go from here? 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.240 And that wasn't there because us there's like the you know, 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.480 the the what the quadruple head are on Memorial Day? Right, 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.360 Like the game start for us here in Los Angeles, 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.199 you know, not nine o'clock in the morning. Then you 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.079 got a noon game, then you got a three o'clock game, 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:13.959 you got a six o'clock game, or a West Coast game. 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.640 You know, that's really what I was missing because as 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.240 time goes on, for me, it's more boy baseball. Really, 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.199 where is it? Like, that's the that's the one because NBA, 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.360 at least I feel like we had most of the season. 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:29.040 So even though now we'd be in the the crux 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.200 of the the conference finals and and the NBA Finals, 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.440 which would be oh my god, you know, here we are. 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.120 We're finally getting to Lakers Clippers, which is where we 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.840 thought were getting the beginning of the year, and probably 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.760 in Bucks Celtics, maybe in the Eastern Conference, you know, 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:43.600 but at least we had some of it, and we 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.160 had it. We got to see it not having baseball, 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.680 not having it having it at all. That's what sticks 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.760 with me the most is that, boy, where is this? 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.400 And this is the one I keep looking at, going 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.439 baseball is gonna come back and say they got to 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:55.920 come back soon, They got to come back soon, because 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.280 that's the one where I go, Okay, where is it? 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.880 Because honestly, getting along without sports has been a little 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.120 bit easier than I thought, you know, knowing full well 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:06.720 they're going to come back at some point, I don't know. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.040 Has it been tough for you? Have you gotten along 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.520 with without sports? You know, living day to day and 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.720 going through and not having stuff to watch or you know, 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.040 to react to every day that we do well. I mean, like, 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.440 look in terms of our jobs obviously, you know, Tom 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:24.600 Brady switching teams helped, the NFL drafts helped, NFL free 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:28.600 agency helped. Uh, some of these other last dands helped. Uh. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.680 It's been a different and a new normal. Um I 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.400 would say that, you know, like I'm always a silver 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.559 lining guy, right kind of try and find the and 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.040 whether it's having dinner with your with your with your kids, 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.400 which you know, uh spring usually you're we're playing so 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.400 much baseball and doing so much other stuff that you're 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.960 not sitting down at a dinner table. Um, you know, 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.719 the homeschooling thing, like you actually get to see your 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:55.080 kids uh kind of work things out and and and 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.120 check their work ethic in school, whereas otherwise everything is secondhand. 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.520 I actually kind and to dig that and and my 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:06.680 kids on some level like it, um so so that 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.040 that pushes you through, Like the sports stuff. I mean 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.120 honestly that you and I talked about this before. Not 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.680 having the youth sports is harder on on a dad 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.679 than not having do I miss like right now you're 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.400 missing NBA playoffs. I would disagree with you in terms 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.120 of baseball right now, like right now is NBA meat 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.240 of NBA playoffs? DoD We miss having that. Yeah, I 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.679 mean absolutely those games are really good, played at really 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.760 high level, and you forget how how close so many 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.720 of those series were even going to last year Toronto, Milwaukee, 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.319 et cetera. Um. But but in terms of my day 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.560 to day, not having youth sports, I think is is 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.120 more difficult. And like look last weekend where I live, 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.800 they had you know, like hey, we're gonna do it 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.880 like a social distancing baseball and see who shows up. 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:53.960 And you know, they thought they might get like nine kids, 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.720 Like they're like thirty kids out there running around because 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:58.640 not only the kids miss it, but the parents miss 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.800 it too, So they just want to see their kid 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.720 go out and play some ball. So I think that's 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.240 been the hardest part more than anything. Yeah, because I 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.120 can't I can't wait to get to see my daughter 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.200 go out and play sports again. Obviously she's she's really 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.000 missing her friends. You know, they get to zoom and 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.240 they get to you know, FaceTime a lot with each other, 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.720 and that's cool, but I miss seeing her play play soccer. 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.600 I miss coaching her in softball. And I would much 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.840 rather do that than try to do math, because I'll 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.080 tell you the math they try to do now. And 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.000 I can't believe that anybody is succeeding with us, that 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.600 anybody if you have kids and you're trying to help 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.720 them with math, it's so different from how we learn 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.640 math we were kids. Everything else, I get like, hey, 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.360 you know, with England, with met, with English, with with writing, 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.600 anything else a project. Right then it comes to math, 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.280 and I go, oh, I don't want to tell you 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.000 how I used to do this, because this is not 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:48.760 how you used to do it. There's all these rows 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.160 and columns, and you know, whether you're doing common core 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.800 math or not. I go, yeah, she'll tell me. Yeah, 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.000 my teacher would want to have me and make these 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.280 columns rows and rows here, and this is how you 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.280 do this, And this is how I go. You don't 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.520 just you know, division and do five in here and 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.720 do that. I go, yeah, I don't, I don't. I 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.280 don't know what to do here. So um, I'm just 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.040 gonna kind of fake it and hope that this, you know, 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.240 whatever I'm doing helps you a little bit, because the 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.680 math is what I really I just I'm just blown 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.840 away with how how math is being taught now. It 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.520 really apps like I gotta tell you my math theory 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.360 here on this. Okay, you have a math theory. Okay, good, Okay, 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.120 I do have a math theory. Well, this is kind 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.480 of is stolen from my late father's clothing theory. So 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.160 my dad used to always say, like, you know these styles, 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.520 what it is is you can't have pleats forever. You 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.640 gotta have flat front pants. Why not? Because anybody didn't 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.000 didn't like pleats. They just have to sell more pants. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.040 So you have to change the style just a little 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.160 bit every year. You don't change the style, why would 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.320 anybody go and buy new clothes. It's like, and I 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.160 was thinking about that with math. It was like, look 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.040 the old carry the you know carry the number, you know, 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.680 added line it up, added up like that stuff worked 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.240 for a long time, but can't tell new math textbooks 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.360 unless you have a new math. That's my that's my 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.320 working theory. So math as a business model is what 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.680 it is not not not math being universal and you 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:14.000 know division, you know, you know, dividing seven into fifty 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.200 two has always been the same. But there's new math, 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.880 and there's money to be made, and so math as 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.800 an industry needs to be doing it differently for that. 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.680 That's it. I never thought about that. I'm I'm gonna 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:27.080 I'm gonna run that by uh my daughter's teacher. And see, 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.320 I think even even the teacher you were like, I 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.880 have no idea. What we have to We have to 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.720 learn a new way to teach this. I remember that 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.480 from like last year and my son he was in 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.880 fourth and or no, maybe maybe two years ago. We 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.360 had a teacher, and she was like, look, I'm learning. 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.520 I've been doing this twenty years. I'm learning in this 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.400 new way to teach math or whatever you'll learn it. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:49.960 And I've just checked out a little bit, like I 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.280 I helped my I help my son. I'm staking with 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:57.040 with fifth grade eighth grade algebra. Um is, I feel 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.160 like it's very I remember some of slow, but I 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.040 don't know a ton of But look, look that's the 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.280 things that we we've gotten. And I think we'll look 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.119 back and we'll say, Okay, well, we lost out on 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.920 an NCAA tournament, we lost out on spring NCAA sports, 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.600 we lost out on a kickoff to baseball. We'll see 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.400 if we get it back. We lost out on basketball. 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:14.760 I think we're getting it back. But it's going to 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.879 be much different. Um and and and what do we 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.480 gain They'll be there's pros, there's concerts, plus, there's bonuses. 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:22.440 It's not the worst thing in the world. We have learned, 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:26.160 you know, to watch documentaries, which in the past you're like, uh, documentary, 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.000 Now a sudden Lance Armstrong's coming out and and just 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:30.840 lacing the world with f bombs at the start of 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:36.360 his documentary. So I think there's there's a lot of insummation. 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.159 There is a lot of good in the kind of 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:43.119 pause that we've pressed in American sports. Fox Sports Radio 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.200 Jason Smith Gottlieb In for Dan and the dan Ads. 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.480 Hit us up on Twitter at how about a Fresca 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:52.520 Doug at Gottlieb Show. Today is a very big benchmark day. 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.440 There's big NFL news as far as what they're looking 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.600 for is they look to come back. We get into 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.440 that coming up later on this hour. But the NBA 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:04.320 returning suddenly, Now there's momentum in a sport that didn't 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.440 really look like they really care all that much about 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.239 coming back. Doug and I get into that, and we 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.840 absolutely remember a legend coming up next right here. This 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.960 is Fox Sports Radio.

The Dan Patrick Show 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.359 Jason Smith and Doug gottlieed in for Dan and the 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:32.440 Danes Today on Memorial Day, whether you're having a social 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:36.280 distance barbecue or hanging out going to Target, be safe. 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:41.240 Target's never a place that uh, it's kind of like 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.959 the Wild Wild West Target, especially the last few weeks. 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.760 What what when you go when you go to Score store, 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.520 is Doug, how how big are the lines when when 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.679 you go in now, Like, are they still like up 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:54.920 up around the wind around the back and the front 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:56.600 of the store going in? Or or are you able 0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:01.159 to get in pretty easy? I've only big into Target 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.959 once and it was I kind of nailed the timing. 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.520 They had like seniors morning, so there wasn't the seniors 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:11.480 were all piling out. They got there at one hour 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:15.280 to shop whatever and the line was short. Um, well, 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:19.440 so you did that. I'm going in when when when 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.240 it's senior time? No, no, no, Like like eight to 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:26.720 nine was seniors and we rolled up at like nine 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:30.080 oh five and we you know, like they had to 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:32.080 wait till all the seniors you know, came out, and 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.199 then they're like all right, And we were one of 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.320 the first kind of groups in. Um. I thought there 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:41.280 was like a scene from it was Curb or something like. 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:42.919 It was like a scene from Curb when I went 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.160 to the first time I went to Home Depot in 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.000 that you know, they had the spots that you have 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:52.160 to stand on and we had some friends who were um, 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.000 not right behind us, but like a spot behind them. 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.919 So we're having a conversation, but like, how you doing. 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:00.720 What you guys been up to? What are you getting 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.280 a home depot? Meanwhile, like there's a couple that's standing 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.679 in between me and this other dad and it's a 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.600 very funny conversation. But for the most part, yeah, the 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:12.919 line stuff is done with a with a couple exceptions. 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.560 Now a couple of restaurants that are really popular, or 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.680 donut shops in the morning that are really popular. Uh, 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:22.119 those are the old ones with lines still, And I just, honestly, 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:24.439 I know I don't have the patients. So if I 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:26.199 can't mobile water and walk up and pick it up, 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:27.879 I just I'll get I'm onto the next I'll go 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:31.119 or somewhere else. So hey, I'm gonna where the donut 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:34.040 stat Yeah? Sorry, Now there was a line, No, no, 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:38.600 I moved on. What'd you get instead? Nothing? Just like 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:41.200 you know, was like handcrafted, like three dollars a donut, 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.440 like I would get him from me. But the kids 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.520 don't really care, Like I'll just go around this corner 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.080 and go to the coffee and donut shop. They don't care. 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:52.360 Just just inject the sugar into their veins. My point is, then, 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:54.640 in terms of the lines, just I'm not a big 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.480 patience guy for for lines, so I've struggled with the 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:00.880 whole thing. Um. But now that the lines are clearly down, 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:04.040 and although people I think are finally running out of 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:06.040 that toilet paper that they hoarded, they're like, oh, man, 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.560 that that lasted a long time. I gotta go back now. 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:10.840 I go back for that second, that second wave of 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:14.320 toilet paper now because I'm out in my garage.

So with the NBA this past week, 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:46.160 and it's been a pretty big week and actually big 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:50.119 last few days because now finally it looks like they're 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.359 starting a little bit of momentum in beginning this season 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:57.040 as they are talking to resume play at Disney's Wide 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.879 World of Sports complex in Florida. New York. Andrew Cuomo 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:04.280 actually said over the weekend that pro teams can return 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:07.880 to their facilities, and in certainly New York and California, 0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:10.639 we thought would be the last two places to clear 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.600 pro sports returning, and now that that's happened, that kind 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:17.200 of puts everybody on an even playing field. And I'm 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:19.200 just glad this is happening, Doug, But still I kind 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.320 of scratch my head because it's been such a slow 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:26.200 play for Adam Silver and the NBA. I just wonder 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:28.680 how much does each side really want to come back, 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.560 because everything has been yeah, we'll do it whenever. We'll 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:33.119 put it doesn't need to be done now, we'll do 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.840 it whenever. I just don't get the sense of urgency 0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:38.119 that they were both really on the same page of 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:40.920 actually wanting to come back and finish the season. Well, 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:42.919 I think there's there's a lot to it. I mean, 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:45.560 obviously the owners want to come back. They on some 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:49.960 level because that that TV money depends upon it. I'd 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:52.800 say the playoff teams. There's a big playoff pool of 0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:55.959 money that's out there. The problem becomes, you know, if 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.159 you want of those bottom ten teams or so, like 0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:02.760 the CAU, Like, what is what is the value in 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:05.040 coming back? You know, do you get to develop? It's 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:08.160 like summer League, you get developed some of younger players. Yeah, 0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:10.119 but you're not getting any gait. You know, you're not 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:13.080 getting any parking, You're just getting expense. You're not getting 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.000 much back in return. You're kind of doing it for 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:22.359 the better betterness, betterness, betterness, better betterment of the league. 0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:26.680 And you know that's that's a hard thing. I don't 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:28.560 think any of it, or very little of it had 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:31.560 to do with anybody really being scared about getting sick. 0:23:31.600 --> 0:23:33.040 I just don't think that's the way any of these 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:37.399 guys think. Um. I think it's more, Hey, look, we 0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:39.240 don't want to do we want to be in a 0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:41.960 bubble for two months. We have no chance to win games? 0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.520 Like what is kind of People don't understand the whole 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:47.640 process of it, But I do think it's a massive 0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:49.760 ship to turn around. Takes a long time to get 0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:52.640 these guys to go from being in peak level physical 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:57.360 condition to not doing anything. But potentially what you'll find though, 0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:59.479 is most of those guys have been working out anyway 0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:02.000 on level. They've been shooting, they've been hooping, especially over 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.440 the last couple of weeks, and I don't think it's 0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:10.040 honestly as hard to get most guys going. But to 0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:12.639 answer your question, why do I think that there has 0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:15.280 them in the overall push? You know, two thirds or 0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:17.320 three quarters of their season was played and a lot 0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:18.800 of those teams were ready for next year and they 0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:21.080 don't really want to be there. And that's a hard 0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:23.720 day to convince at least a quarter to a third, 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:25.639 maybe even half a league that you should want to 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:28.760 do something they don't want to do. So let's just say, 0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:31.480 in trying to think the best way for the NBA 0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:33.760 to come back, I always think and look at any 0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:36.240 sport now, whether it's NHL, because they have this big 0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:38.200 plan out there that they're going to take twenty four 0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:40.639 teams and have kind of a play in with some 0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:42.840 of those teams for the playoff. I just don't know 0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:45.320 that that works for the NBA. As you said, the 0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:47.600 bottom teams have said it. Look, Steve Kerr has basically 0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:50.679 said listen, we don't want to play. We'll be good partners. Right. 0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:53.119 That was a school will be good partners if they 0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:55.440 want to come back and play. But basically saying there's 0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:58.240 no reason for us to return. If you just came back, 0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:00.360 if you said all right, what do we do and 0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:03.240 you brought back the top four teams from each conference 0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:07.440 to play in the bubble and play for the championship, 0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:10.800 I think that solves as many issues as you can 0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:13.720 because you're bringing back the teams that know they can 0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:16.520 compete for a championship, so they'll be that built in excitement. 0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:20.840 And you're also bringing back less players, so there's less 0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:24.639 chance that someone's gonna catch coronavirus. And then what do 0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:26.520 you do? Do you keep playing? Do you stop? Do 0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:29.160 you isolate? What if it's one of your best players? 0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:30.960 How does it work? I mean, you're not going to 0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:33.320 be able to stop anybody from getting it if they do, 0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:37.040 but just let's let's try to keep it smaller because 0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:39.240 it's always easier to keep it away when you have 0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:41.960 a smaller groups compared to a large group. And then 0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:43.720 you can get it done in a certain period of 0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:46.080 time where players can say all right, I can go 0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:47.480 and I can be in a bubble city and it's 0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:49.119 going to be for a month at most, and we 0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:50.919 have a chance to win a championship because there's only 0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:53.760 eight of us, we're already in the conference semifinals. And 0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:55.720 I think that works, and I think that's what the 0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.920 players will wind up eventually being sold on, is that, Hey, 0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:01.560 we're gonna win a championship, right, we're ready. We're ready 0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:03.199 to come back. You know, the Raptors all want to 0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:06.040 come back, and we'll figure out our way of going 0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:08.320 from the United you know, getting too from the United 0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:11.280 States to Cannada and back. We'll figure that out somehow. 0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:14.040 So I think if you do that that works. I 0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:16.760 think the more teams you try to involve, the more 0:26:16.800 --> 0:26:18.639 headaches more difficult it's going to be to try to 0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:20.919 get that. Yeah, And the way to get out of 0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:22.960 involving the teams that you don't want to involve is 0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:24.880 to simply go like, hey, we'd love to have them, 0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:29.119 but the numbers, you know, it becomes like three x 0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:31.800 in terms of security and safety and all that stuff. 0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:34.840 The issue you have when you invite to select number 0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:36.960 of teams is you have to have ramp up games. 0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:39.879 You can't go from zero to one hundred. That that 0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:42.399 doesn't work. That's a sure way to get one an 0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:44.760 injury until you won't get the level of play that 0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:47.720 you want. So I would, I mean, if it's me, 0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:50.280 I make them all get ready in play, I play 0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:53.520 pool play, you know, some round rob and stuff, and 0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:56.080 then you have a play in for the I think 0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:58.640 you're gonna have to go probably ten deep in each 0:26:58.640 --> 0:27:01.600 conference because you can't do the traditional eight play in 0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:04.880 eight playoffs because there's a clump, especially in the West, 0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:08.080 you know, And so you do some sort of play 0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:10.800 in for those the bottom of the playoff teams. Do 0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:12.680 you have to bring back the bottom ten? You do not, 0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:14.639 And you can still make it work and still play 0:27:15.240 --> 0:27:18.080 you know, East versus West in terms of warm up games, 0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:20.400 because the East versus West is only going to play 0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:22.359 each other in the finals. And you can be smart 0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:24.840 and selective, you know, who plays the Bucks and who 0:27:24.840 --> 0:27:27.200 plays the Celtics, and who plays those and who plays 0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:30.760 all the other kind of playoff teams whatever. But that's 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:33.119 how I think it's gonna play out. It's gonna beet Orlando, 0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:35.480 gonna be only one site. It's kind of you know, 0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:38.359 they continue to kind of leak it out slowly, and 0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:41.240 they're being really cautious about it. But I look, I 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:43.840 think it's gonna be the best and most of a 0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:47.280 lot of those guys grew up playing, you know, at 0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:50.800 the milkhouse or in other gyms, empty gyms in the 0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:53.680 morning and playing in au tournament, So I actually think 0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:56.239 it's there's gonna be some good that comes out of it. 0:27:56.840 --> 0:27:58.720 Obviously we'll miss the fans and the fan fair and 0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:03.480 it'll be weird side an NBA champion in an MD arena, 0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:05.639 But I think they're pretty close to getting over the 0:28:06.000 --> 0:28:08.400 last hurdle of deciding how they want to come back. 0:28:09.080 --> 0:28:11.640 Jason Smith Doug Gottlieb in for Dan and the Danets 0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:14.440 today here on Fox Sports Radio, Twitter at how bout 0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:17.320 a Fresca Doug at Gottlieb Show. We got more NBA 0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:20.800 coming up later on in the show, but this weekend 0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:25.760 we lost speaking of basketball and absolute legend, as Eddie 0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:28.080 Sutton passed away at the age of eighty four, one 0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:31.080 more than eight hundred games. First coach take four different 0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:34.480 schools to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, and Doug to 0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:37.520 say that you guys were close is an understatement. And 0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:39.640 you were the first person I thought of when when 0:28:39.680 --> 0:28:42.160 I saw the news. You know, I know the relationship 0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:44.440 that you guys have had him being your coach, you 0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:47.160 know he backed you when when when you potentially were 0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:50.400 in the mix for the Oklahoma state job. What what 0:28:50.400 --> 0:28:52.840 what's your reaction seeing this and and everything that's been 0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:55.280 going on with you the past couple of days. Um, 0:28:56.040 --> 0:29:00.920 you know, we if you've if you had somebody in 0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:03.360 your life who won as a mentor, but two gets 0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:06.600 to this point where the body just starts to shut down. 0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:09.720 You just you knew was coming. So it wasn't a 0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:12.040 terrible surprise. A matter of fact that the day or 0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:14.640 two before I've been kind of alerting my teammates to 0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:17.240 what was going on, and we were trying to figure out, 0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:19.840 like does it make sense to go out there, especially 0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:23.240 with COVID. You know, he was in hospice, so we 0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:27.720 could have gone seen him, And so it wasn't a surprise. 0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:30.320 And in many ways, the recent announcement that he was 0:29:30.360 --> 0:29:33.640 getting into the NA Memorial Hall of Fame was like, 0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:35.960 that's what he was living for. You know, his wife 0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:39.920 had died in twenty thirteen, and there were many times 0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:42.800 when which I'd go see him and you felt like, Okay, 0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:45.280 his coach gonna is he gonna quit? You know, does 0:29:45.320 --> 0:29:47.360 he has he done? He would just want to go see, 0:29:47.720 --> 0:29:51.000 you know, his wife. And you know, I don't know 0:29:51.040 --> 0:29:54.960 if we were if we were good friends or or 0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:57.360 the worst kind of friends, because we'd always push him 0:29:57.400 --> 0:30:00.479 to like, hey, coach, you can, you're good, like always, 0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:02.800 we're here for you. You're gonna be You're gonna I mean, 0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:05.560 he had so many different little medical things and falls, 0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:09.600 and you know, if people saw him recently obviously at games, 0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:13.480 he's very frail, and you know, you started to get 0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:15.880 the sense of, Okay, I understand maybe why you don't 0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:18.080 want to quit. And then we got to two years 0:30:18.080 --> 0:30:19.720 ago there was the Hall of Fame announcement and he 0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:23.080 didn't get in. You're like, oh man, gosh, golly. And 0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:25.520 then he gets in this year and he felt kind 0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:28.240 of at at Eddie's at peace with it, and I 0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:31.840 think that's where everyone is who's involved. Eddie Sudden was 0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:34.440 a great basketball players, a great mentor. He actually my 0:30:34.560 --> 0:30:37.040 dad coach with him at Creighton under him at Creighton. 0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:39.600 This is going back to the sixties, so My relationship 0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:41.640 with him goes, you know, almost to the time of birth. 0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:45.160 He was. He was remarkable. He was the first coach 0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:49.120 to take four different schools the nca Tournament. He reinvigorated 0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:52.160 our university. It was it was really in bad shape 0:30:52.160 --> 0:30:55.360 in the in the late eighties with the football program 0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:58.840 on probation. Oil wasn't worth anything. They had no money. 0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:02.480 And he saved college basketball and then for the school 0:31:02.520 --> 0:31:05.720 and then really saved the athletic department which is now 0:31:07.560 --> 0:31:10.000 in unbelievable shape because of other people who have picked 0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:11.920 it up and Boone Pickens who have course passed away 0:31:12.560 --> 0:31:15.600 not so long ago as well. So yeah, it's like 0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:18.560 losing a second father. It was. It sucks, but he was. 0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:21.120 You know, the lessons that he taught on and off 0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:23.360 the court are things that I teach to my kids 0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:26.560 and I will tell to people all the time. And 0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:30.160 you know, he wasn't there wasn't anything super fancy about 0:31:30.240 --> 0:31:32.680 him as a person, him as a coach. But it 0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:36.040 was just about you know, playing hard, being accountable, doing 0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:39.280 the right things, being a good teammate, and all of 0:31:39.280 --> 0:31:41.600 those things you can imply to life. And like the 0:31:41.640 --> 0:31:44.680 thing that we all say, like we all talk about 0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:46.959 with each other and what happens when you're playing college. 0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:50.760 I can't tell you this happens everywhere, but I do 0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:54.560 think most places, but especially our place, you become those 0:31:54.560 --> 0:31:56.560 are your best friends. And so every once in a 0:31:56.560 --> 0:31:58.120 while you check in with your best friend, you have 0:31:58.160 --> 0:32:01.280 these long conversations. We always bring up how right he 0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:03.000 was when he would say, like, hey, if you can 0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:05.800 make it through my practice, if you can play for me, 0:32:05.960 --> 0:32:08.960 you can do anything. Like I purposely make this hard. 0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:11.400 I give you adversity because the adversity you're going to 0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:14.520 see in basketball and in life is much more difficult. 0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:16.400 But if you're not But if you're not ready for it, 0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:19.240 then you know, I'm preparing you to fail in the 0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:23.360 real world. And it's totally true. So whether it's whether 0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:26.520 it's quarantine or changing jobs, or different life things with 0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:29.560 your wife or with your kids, whatever you're like, you know, 0:32:30.040 --> 0:32:33.680 it's not that it does, it's not that it's not daunting. 0:32:33.920 --> 0:32:36.880 You know these these decisions you make. But you can 0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:39.600 come back to the look, I've been through adversity before, 0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:41.760 I know how to get through it. And he was 0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:45.560 great at teaching that. What's what's the big thing? What's 0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:48.600 the big lesson from him that you teach to all 0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:50.280 your kids when when you coach whatever it is, what's 0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:52.080 the one thing Okay, the first thing I always do 0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:54.160 that I learned I learned from Coach Sutton was this, 0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:57.400 what what's the first thing you tell him? Well, what happens? 0:32:58.040 --> 0:33:02.680 My first argument with him was over which way we 0:33:02.680 --> 0:33:06.240 were forcing the ball defensively. So in basketball, you either 0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:08.200 forced the ball to the middle or he forced the 0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:11.760 ball to the baseline. Right now, there's a difference there. 0:33:11.800 --> 0:33:14.000 When you force it, you don't open the gate. Right 0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:15.800 You're not like saying, hey, you can just go buy 0:33:15.840 --> 0:33:17.360 me to the middle, but you want to steer a 0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:22.120 guy to wherever your help is. And there's basically two 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:25.600 different there's other philosophy. Those are the two basic philosophies. 0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:28.880 So we would we had a drill every day called 0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:33.440 one on one containment, and it's basically you're playing one 0:33:33.480 --> 0:33:35.440 on one against the guy who has kind of three 0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:38.160 dribbles on the side and he gets it on the wing. 0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:41.040 The free thro line extended and I stopped and I said, Coach, 0:33:41.120 --> 0:33:43.400 we forced the middle, we forced the baseline. Is like neither, 0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:48.080 we're not forcing we're not letting anybody get to the paint. 0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:49.920 Keep damn puppies out the paint. And I was like, 0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:51.920 all right, so we're forced bas No, you don't let 0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:56.480 him get to the baseline. That's death. I was like, 0:33:56.520 --> 0:33:59.880 all right, So where are my teammates going to expect 0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:04.080 the driver? Like you guard your man or you come 0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:08.640 help me, coach. And I was like yeah, but okay, 0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:11.200 but you guard your man, you on me call. I 0:34:11.320 --> 0:34:15.080 was like okay, and and you know, like again, now 0:34:15.280 --> 0:34:17.239 you know your your twenty year old brain processes a 0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:20.040 little differently than your forty year old brain. And now 0:34:20.040 --> 0:34:23.360 you start to realize, like, look, we forced baseline. By 0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:26.800 the way, for anybody who wanted to know force baseline 0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:28.359 like that was like one of the things all those 0:34:28.400 --> 0:34:30.480 guys like, hey, we push him to the baseline. That's 0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:32.480 where we push. We see, al we trap, we rotate, 0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:35.160 we do all this anyway, and we actually had a 0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:39.800 much more ornate defensive philosophy and how we forced the baseline. 0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:42.680 We rotated out of it, and we did drills every 0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:45.800 day just for that. So it's kind of a crazy, 0:34:46.000 --> 0:34:50.879 but like, look, his the premise is a really good one, 0:34:50.920 --> 0:34:56.400 which is like look, either you compete and play hard, okay, 0:34:56.480 --> 0:34:58.640 and look, we have guys that will be your safety 0:34:58.680 --> 0:35:02.080 net if you need or don't play, and that that's it. 0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:06.040 Was his same philosophy in school, like I don't really care. 0:35:06.120 --> 0:35:07.600 I do this with cool, Like I don't really care 0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:09.640 what grade you get. But if I see you're not 0:35:09.719 --> 0:35:12.160 working hard, I can't you know, I can't be your 0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:13.640 safety net to help you. I'm not going to send 0:35:13.840 --> 0:35:15.920 a note to your teacher that you stayed up all 0:35:16.000 --> 0:35:17.759 night and you're studying and you didn't do in your 0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:19.480 test and you'd love to get another shot at unless 0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:21.160 I saw you staying up all night and studying, So 0:35:21.360 --> 0:35:24.759 I would say, that's it. It's just the like it's 0:35:26.560 --> 0:35:28.400 I think he saw the good in people. Sometimes he 0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:31.359 would take some second chance, second chance guys. I think 0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:33.080 he knew how to tweet kids and get them to 0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:35.520 play hard. I think he was He did a great 0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:38.279 job of really establishing He was in his sixties when 0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:41.560 he coached me, and we still had a great relationship 0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:43.359 in that he knew everything going on in my life 0:35:43.360 --> 0:35:47.320 because he took time every day to talk to literally 0:35:47.320 --> 0:35:48.960 talk to his players and get to know them, get 0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:51.359 to know their parents. But the biggest thing is like 0:35:51.640 --> 0:35:54.600 he offered no excuses. You either play hard and compete 0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:57.920 or go sit in the bench. And that's something I 0:35:57.920 --> 0:36:01.400 implored today. Wow, that was the birth of Doug Gottlieb, 0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:04.560 future sports talk radio host got leave argues with me 0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:07.200 your practice every day about I really tell you, I'm 0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:09.400 gonna tell you why you should force baseline. Next on 0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:13.440 Fox Sport Radio, I'm gonna tell you why you should 0:36:13.520 --> 0:36:15.560 never allow a man to get two feet in the paint. 0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:20.920 This this Fox Sports Radio. Oh my goodness, great stuff. 0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:23.960 Jason spent Doug Gottlieb in for Dan and the Dan. 0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:26.680 That's today Twitter At how about a Fresca Doug at 0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:30.360 Gottlieb show phone number eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. 0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:33.600 I will continue to remember Coach Sutton throughout the show today, 0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:35.319 and I'm sure you have a few more of us, 0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:37.560 right because because I liked the you guard your manner, 0:36:37.600 --> 0:36:40.279 you come help me, coach, I kind of like that. Yeah, 0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:42.799 well it was everything was come help me coach. That 0:36:42.920 --> 0:36:45.120 was that was his way of saying, you're sitting the bench. 0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:50.000 Look you know you you you take you like if 0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:52.719 you get He wasn't a. You know some coaches, uh, 0:36:53.640 --> 0:36:55.480 they take you out if you get two personal fouls 0:36:55.480 --> 0:36:57.239 in the first half. Like it wasn't him, Like he 0:36:57.400 --> 0:36:59.520 was just like, you stop fouling, or you come help 0:36:59.560 --> 0:37:02.920 me coach. You you take good shots, or come help 0:37:02.960 --> 0:37:06.200 me coach, run the offense, or one you don't run 0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:08.160 the offense, you could come help me coach. That was 0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:10.399 that was his thing. He also would do this deal 0:37:10.400 --> 0:37:12.080 where he would come down the bench and I It 0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:14.640 took me, like I don't know how many games was 0:37:14.680 --> 0:37:18.320 to figure out what he was saying. But I started 0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:20.000 just about every game for mum of three years or 0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:22.359 seven when I was in the doghouse, like nine games. 0:37:22.760 --> 0:37:25.200 But when you were helping him coach, that's terrible. As 0:37:25.200 --> 0:37:27.240 I was helping him coach, okay, but I never forget 0:37:27.280 --> 0:37:29.400 like the first game, you know where I playing, like 0:37:29.440 --> 0:37:31.440 North Texas is like the first game I ever played, 0:37:31.440 --> 0:37:34.920 and and A play and playing well, and I come 0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:36.760 out of the game and I get some water or whatever, 0:37:36.840 --> 0:37:39.399 and he comes down and he's like, you get ready 0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:40.919 to go in for Joe, And I was like, all right, 0:37:41.600 --> 0:37:43.400 what I gotta like? Am I supposed to do some 0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.200 stretching like I'm good, and then you know, there's like 0:37:46.239 --> 0:37:49.360 a minute goes by and he comes, He's like, what 0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:51.080 are you? Why aren't you in the game. I was like, 0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:53.319 you told me to get ready to go in for him. 0:37:53.320 --> 0:37:54.600 He didn't tell me to go in form like, you 0:37:54.600 --> 0:37:57.439 didn't get down there, So I guess And it took 0:37:57.480 --> 0:38:01.200 me a while to like that was his way of saying, 0:38:01.280 --> 0:38:03.040 get him. You're like I had I played for a 0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:05.879 coach in high school, is just Andy Grounds, Like, get him, 0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:09.640 get him, you know, get he's so terrible. Get him. 0:38:10.120 --> 0:38:12.920 And then uh, you know John mcleoden, I played for 0:38:12.960 --> 0:38:14.719 Notre Dame, would would just come down, you know, and 0:38:14.840 --> 0:38:16.319 he'd be out and he'd come and he'd just point 0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:18.719 to you and he go, no he and they point 0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:21.040 point in so they get ready to get in for 0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:24.680 was It was an adjustment for me.

Are you contenders, are 0:39:19.000 --> 0:39:21.560 you pretenders? Do you need help at the deadline. Yeah, 0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:23.680 it's a big day for that. And instead our day 0:39:23.800 --> 0:39:27.200 is spent looking ahead to when it's gonna come back. 0:39:27.280 --> 0:39:30.440 And I think the best news for all the sports 0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:33.640 right now is that baseball looks like they're the ones 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:36.160 that have the biggest plan to come back the soonest 0:39:36.480 --> 0:39:40.319 as far as getting getting teams ready, because look, there's 0:39:40.360 --> 0:39:42.840 no negotiation about playing in bubble cities. They're gonna be 0:39:42.880 --> 0:39:45.720 able to train in their home cities. And I'm fully 0:39:45.760 --> 0:39:49.319 expecting more than anything else, I'm fully expecting baseball at 0:39:49.360 --> 0:39:51.880 some kind of spring training coming up within the next 0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:54.120 three weeks. I gotta think they're gonna get the money 0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:58.120 part of it done and we're gonna have baseball. Yeah. 0:39:58.160 --> 0:40:02.719 I mean, again, the problem with baseball is you got 0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:05.279 to get those arms ready. And again I operate on 0:40:05.320 --> 0:40:08.800 the assumption most of those guys have been throwing some anyway, 0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:11.200 but are they throwing at game tempo? And then how 0:40:11.239 --> 0:40:14.880 do you how do you do it? And baseball unlike 0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:17.960 really any other sport, but you know, because of the 0:40:18.040 --> 0:40:20.680 volume of games they usually play, they are really dependent 0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:24.960 upon gate now their relationships with their with their TV partners, 0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:28.920 with the local rsns. They need that volume of games 0:40:28.960 --> 0:40:32.640 as well in order to economically make things work. But 0:40:32.640 --> 0:40:35.359 but not having the home gate is gonna hurt, Like, look, 0:40:35.760 --> 0:40:38.040 this is going to set us back a long long 0:40:38.160 --> 0:40:42.640 time collegian sports, professional sports, and I think baseball is 0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:44.719 one that they're smart to get it up and going. 0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:46.960 Uh and it's one in which you can you know, 0:40:46.960 --> 0:40:48.719 it's been it's been done all over the world that 0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:52.480 you can play baseball and use social distancing. The question 0:40:52.560 --> 0:40:54.960 becomes how long does it take to get those arms 0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:58.520 ready to go see? And I think when that happens 0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:02.440 and where that takes three weeks. Their plan of eighty games, 0:41:02.480 --> 0:41:05.920 I think is really it's a little too ambitious because 0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:07.680 by the time it gets going and you want to 0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:10.680 stick to some kind of normalcy for the calendar, it's 0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:12.920 going to be more like sixty ish games. You know, 0:41:12.960 --> 0:41:15.719 maybe you play sixty maybe sixty five games, and if 0:41:15.719 --> 0:41:19.640 that's the season, that's the season. And I wouldn't be surprised, honestly, 0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:21.920 if you get into after they get into things for 0:41:21.960 --> 0:41:24.560 a couple of weeks, if some of the teams started 0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:27.240 letting fans in and started letting you know, the social 0:41:27.239 --> 0:41:30.240 distancing listen, we can sell a ticket every six seats 0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:32.000 and at least they can get some kind of gate 0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:36.520 coming in there. Yeah. Look, I think that a lot 0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:39.239 of people are operating under the assumption it's probably a 0:41:39.239 --> 0:41:43.600 pretty fair one that as we lessen restrictions, that's gonna 0:41:43.600 --> 0:41:45.600 be across the board, and it's gonna keep getting lessened 0:41:45.800 --> 0:41:47.759 as we get into summer, And so you got to 0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:51.120 make kind of two contingency plans, one as of now 0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:54.880 and two what about the possibility of things being completely 0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:57.080 opened up by summer that we just don't know. You 0:41:57.080 --> 0:41:59.719 just can't assume that because there is no promise of 0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:03.600 that day coming. Jason Smith, Doug Gottlieb in for Dan 0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:06.319 and the Dan ATS Phone numbers eight seven, seven ninety 0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:09.080 nine on Fox, on Twitter at how About a Fresca 0:42:09.320 --> 0:42:12.319 or at Gottlieb Show, We'll have more NBA coming up 0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:14.680 a half hour.
