11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 2: still dark here in southern California as you and I

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: get ready, a little little bit of a not quite rain.

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: I don't know what you call it, but certainly precipitation

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: is there in the offing, but also on the off

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: ramps and highways and byways of our lives, long before

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: the sun is rising. Men and women in line with

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: buckets of flowers, assorted candies, stuffed animals, and any thing

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: you could possibly do if you forgot to take care

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: of mom on Mother's.

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 3: Well, well it's not forgetting if you're doing it. At

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 3: five thirty Local times a point on Mother's Day. In fact,

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: I would consider it early bird gets the worm. And

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: I am here to announce at this point I have

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 3: already been ripped off this morning with Mother's Day. Look

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 3: at you already here you go, early to go, early

26
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: to go, have already been ripped off, Mike for the

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: amount that I paid for a I'll tell you what

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: daylight does a lot for flowers. And when the sun

29
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: is not up yet, and you talk about this fog

30
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 3: that's been over southern California where we broadcast.

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: Doonel Beatles song that included the fog above.

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: La.

33
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't quite get to see what you were purchasing.

34
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: But then then when I opened my car door to

35
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: come to work, I saw exactly what I was purchasing.

36
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: So five and a half to six hours in on

37
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: this Mother's Day on the at least West Coast, I've

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: already been ripped off.

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: Now on my way home from the show, every Sunday,

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: as I get on the off ramp down on Anglewood

41
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: Bobard down towards the beach cities, there's always someone selling

42
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: flowers that it's usually ten bucks. Not today, did we

43
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: double it?

44
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: Did they get you for a doubles. There's doubles, and

45
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: then there's triples, and then there's quadruples of the ten bucks.

46
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: How about that?

47
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: You're right, Usually it's five to ten, but today is

48
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: Today is the day.

49
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: Get that premium. There you go, supplied demand and desperation

50
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: being a standalone.

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: I was, I was a sucker, and I just I

52
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: was taken. But it's okay because it just happens. It

53
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: happens today, but already five hours in, already a sucker

54
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: when it comes to buying Mother's Day flowers.

55
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: Now three thousand miles away from my folks, they had

56
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: their anniversary earlier in this week, and then today obviously

57
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: Mother's Day. I'm reliant on the good, good folks of

58
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: Amazon and their drivers to take care of business. Scheduled

59
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: for delivery today, a couple of sundry items. You know,

60
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: Mom likes the likes cards more than anything else. So

61
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: United States Post Office. It didn't get there yet, So

62
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: we'll see if maybe there's a Sunday delivery, because I've

63
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: always I've often had that in neighborhoods. Again, this may

64
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: be a southern California thing that maybe maybe your post postman,

65
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: post lady doesn't necessarily want to do the full shift

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: on a Friday, so all of a sudden on Sunday,

67
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: you've got post like your Jerry Seinfelm picking up for

68
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: Newman when he wanted the promotion.

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: Just don't take any bottles and cans to Michigan because

70
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: that can end a the Z.

71
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: No.

72
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: This is true, no question about it. At Dan Byron

73
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: Fox where you find damn find me over at Swollen Dome.

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: You got ideas for Mother's Day, last minute thoughts that

75
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: you've got out there, Please send us a line on

76
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: the Twitter verse. Let's help each other out. We're a

77
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: big extended community on the iHeartRadio app. Wherever you go

78
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: on the highways and byways of life. Perhaps you're I've

79
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: got a big brunch planned and you're up and out

80
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: already early services. Whatever you're doing today, we appreciate you

81
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: making us part of your entertainment and information kind of flow.

82
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: Here on a Sunday, and we've got action on the

83
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: pitch already in the Premier League. Morning we're watching some golf,

84
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: and later on we've got a Game seven in these

85
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: NBA Finals, Lakers and Nuggets. Already set my Miami heat.

86
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: I say that because I'm a Jimmy Butler stand and

87
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: have been since his time with the Bulls and still

88
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: sad that he's no longer a member of the Bulls.

89
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: But all of those things that you watch the ebb

90
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: and flow of these playoffs, we'll talk about many Williams

91
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: a huge thing that I raised my hand wondering if

92
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: it was going to happen after that embarrassing dismissal from

93
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Yet did. But we've got the Celtics and

94
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: we've got the Sixers later on today, game seven in

95
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: a series, and it really defined of these playoffs is

96
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: on a nightly basis. There's a lot of unknown in

97
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: terms of the effort, the excellence of execution, and dare

98
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: I say both coaches perhaps fighting for their jobs in

99
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: this one.

100
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: Oh well, their unique circumstances and the Missoula situation in

101
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 3: Boston is just so unique because of how he ended

102
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: up getting the job. Mic and gist of of the

103
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: emy Doka situation with will Hardy being gone, the options

104
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 3: like it's it's you know, we're watching we're watching soccer

105
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: this morning. I guess it would be almost being promoted

106
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 3: and you just skip a league like that's that's almost

107
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 3: like the feeling it is, and it's like, how do

108
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: you show that you belong and bowing out in these

109
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: NBA playoffs when you were considered one of the title

110
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: favorites and now as you look at the field, especially

111
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 3: in the East, you think that your path to a

112
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: repeat appearance in the NBA Finals would be there. But

113
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 3: but yeah, I think I think that there is something

114
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: to it. I don't think it's completely Joe Miszula's fault,

115
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: but just like I don't think it was completely Minney

116
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: William's fault in Phoenix. There are times where you have

117
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: to make a change for because you just you have to.

118
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 3: And maybe Missoula would grow into the role. But how

119
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: long do you have to wait if you're Boston, how

120
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 3: long do you have to say, all right, is here

121
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: a guy or not? And Doc Rivers and in their

122
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: situation in Philadelphia, Mike it was the surest if I

123
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 3: was a betting man, and I am not. I like

124
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: to participate in pools here and there in contest, but

125
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 3: I'm not really a betting man. There is no way

126
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: the Sixers were gonna win Game six. This is just

127
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: there's no way. And Jason Tatum had an awful night.

128
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: And I know you guys are on the air during

129
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 3: it and watching it and watching it unfold. But if

130
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 3: you were to sit there and say, all right, Jason

131
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: Tatum's gonna have what one field goal entering the fourth

132
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 3: quarter be two or fifteen at one point, and you

133
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 3: can't you can't have a lead, let alone supperate yourself

134
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: like to me, like my goodness, I don't know where

135
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: Philadelphia would go. I think that the Missoula situation, if

136
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: they lose today, is probably the one that ends up changing.

137
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 3: I don't want to say that Doc is safe, but

138
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: if there was a change on who lost today, I

139
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: think it would happen in Boston.

140
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at when you talk about Missoula. There's

141
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: just been these late game situations, and part of it

142
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: is the core that you've established in Boston right coming

143
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: into the year, questions of whether Tatum and Brown and

144
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: then Marcus Smart's over Kere as the third man in

145
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: on all of this stuff, right, that you have this core,

146
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: But rumors were that Brown and Tatum weren't necessarily in sync, right,

147
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: and guys that you were going to move forward, and

148
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: the Adoka situation transpires, and we've got some of the details.

149
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: We'll never know everything else. Every once in a while,

150
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: while Nea Long posts something up on Instagram, all love

151
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: over here, I'm good and whatever, it's like, but you're like,

152
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: she's in a no win situation. She can't respond to

153
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: anything in her socials. Otherwise it fuels everything again, what

154
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: actually happened? What transpired? Why are you bringing this up?

155
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 2: He's like, well, she's really not. She's just responding to

156
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: fans and admirers and everything else. So that whole situation

157
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: just keeps.

158
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: Yea, I think now that he's in Houston as well,

159
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: like there's it kind of moves on towards it. But

160
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: it's just been a crazy year, just like I still

161
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: think that the Draymond Green punch of Jordan Poole played

162
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: into an effect on how this season played.

163
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: An entire city. Yeah, we've got plenty of time to

164
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: get into that. Yeah, they're they're dismissal as well, because

165
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: there's a lot swirling and the most coveted free agent

166
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: of everybody on that squad and across the NBA might

167
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 2: be a guy who wears a suit.

168
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: Sure. Well, just to make a point about Missoula, the

169
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: thing that actually worked against him, and because it really

170
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: should have worked for him in game six, this really

171
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: could have been something for him was when he starts

172
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: Richard Williams against against fel excuse me, Robert Williams not sorry,

173
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: and Venus's dad Robert Williams interesting him insertion there, Yes,

174
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: that that would be reason to fire Joe Mizula.

175
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: I you got to get creative with your lineup situation.

176
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: Dan, When you start Robert Williams, you're saying, all right,

177
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 3: we're gonna we're gonna try to clog the paint. We're

178
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 3: gonna try to lock down Philadelphia defensively. And all the reports,

179
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: whether it be from shams, whether it be from out

180
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 3: of Boston, whether it be ESPN, or that the players

181
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: had to convince Joe Missoula that that's what they wanted.

182
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 3: Like that is that, like there's there is one thing

183
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: about listening to your players and getting a sense of

184
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 3: of the room, but also if the players like, this

185
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 3: is what we need to do and it works in

186
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: your Like for as great as it was for Boston

187
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 3: to win that like that didn't help Joe Miszula's status.

188
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: So when you're talking about what's at stake here in

189
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: the head coaching. It's why lean Missoula. But I really

190
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: like Boston today, so I in the in the end

191
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 3: of it all, like I think as it plays out,

192
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 3: I just I don't think the Sixers are that team.

193
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: I don't think that they are. I use the reference

194
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: of the you know, the grocery store guy, the you're

195
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: not that guy pal meme that we had seen so much,

196
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 3: and I feel that that is Philadelphia, and I just

197
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 3: it's why I didn't think they would win Game six.

198
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: They could prove me wrong in Game seven if they

199
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 3: do tip of the cap, but I just don't think

200
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: that's who they are, and I don't think that they've

201
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: been that team. I don't think anything changes there. They

202
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: are who they are, and so I think Boston ends

203
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: up winning today.

204
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the difficulty is obviously someone in the in

205
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: the building wanted that information out on Missoula. You remember,

206
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: Adoka hasn't coached a single game for anybody yet, so

207
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: sure contracts, we've seen guys walk away. One of the

208
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: greatest in the NFL's history. Did that. Can't just say it.

209
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: I'm going no, he's not going back to Boston. But

210
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: you look at Milwaukee, you've got Phoenix, You've got You've

211
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: got options out there of a pretty solid basis. Not

212
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: to say it happens, but look, it's a strange world.

213
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: We know how how attitudes and circumstances change on a dime.

214
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 2: And and that's that's not reporting, it's just me trying

215
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: to be a realist. At this point. You think we've

216
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: seen every permutation of things. Why why would that not

217
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: possibly be on the day.

218
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: Of You think if they did sign Richard Williams, he would,

219
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: you know, go why temper? Yeah, so I don't I

220
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 3: don't know. I'm King Richard here at the Garden.

221
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: Chains here, I'm the cake, I'm the whiz, and nobody

222
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: beats me. Look the the two things right. The late

223
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: game situations have obviously been a disaster for Boston in

224
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 2: several of these games. Goes back to the Warriors, who

225
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: we'll talk about in earnest later on. But same thing.

226
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: You had opportunities to close out games, didn't Philadelphia. We

227
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: know docs record and close out games. It's been said

228
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: a million times, he wins a third of them. Yep,

229
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: Game seven's he's six and nine all time. After a while,

230
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: you got enough of a sample size to say there's

231
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: a coaching problem here. Yes, he got that title with

232
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: Boston all those years ago. This is not that Boston team.

233
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: He's not a veteran laden team like that veteran Leyden

234
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: when we look at Embiid and James Harden, but a

235
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: much different set of circumstances and an opportunity. As you say,

236
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: in game six, you've got Jason Tatums who's invisible most

237
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: of the game. Jump shot is off, his confidence is

238
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 2: obviously waning, at least it was until you know, humbly,

239
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: I'm one of the best in the world. One of

240
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: the greatest quotes ever that I'm going to emblazon on

241
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: a T shirt for myself.

242
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: I knew what he was getting at, because he knew

243
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: what he was going to do.

244
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: No, exactly, It's all about, Hey, I've got the confidence,

245
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to get it going. I'm going to find

246
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: my shot.

247
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

248
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: But all of a sudden in the fourth quarter he

249
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: getches fire and they don't close out well on him

250
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: at all, and all of a sudden he starts hitting shots. Well,

251
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: we've talked about this forever, and you've heard the great

252
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: shooters of the game's history collegiate and pro just that

253
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: I need one to get started. Yeah right, And we

254
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: go back to that Golden State just to kind of

255
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: inform the point, which is why Klay Thompson kept going

256
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: for a shot. That's who he is. His shot was

257
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: broken that whole series defense versus the shot itself, but

258
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 2: in big moments he was still pulling the trigger quickly. Likewise,

259
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: here with Jason Tatum, give me the ball, and what happened.

260
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: The Sixers wilted in that fourth quarter and the defense

261
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: from Boston and comes to life. They put a something

262
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: over the rim, and the Sixers score thirteen points in

263
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, and that's it.

264
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: I'll say this, I really, I actually appreciated the narrative.

265
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: And it's not rain on Philly Day here on Fox

266
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: Sports Radio.

267
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: That's not what it's meant It might be before it's all

268
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: said done.

269
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 3: Yes, sorry, executive producer Ethan, That's not what this is

270
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 3: meant to be.

271
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: But for Okay, you brought him sugar.

272
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 3: For as much as for as much as Jason Tatum

273
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: deserved credit for breaking through his slump in that fourth quarter,

274
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: there was some blame to go in the first three quarters,

275
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: but also there was some blame to go then with

276
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: the seventy six ers, like there was a focus on that,

277
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: what happened with j will'll Embiid in the fourth quarter,

278
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 3: their inability to score, and then the inabilities we talked

279
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: about to stop Tatum. But yeah, I expect I really

280
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: like Boston today and Mike this just maybe this may

281
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: be me thinking back to last year when the Celtics

282
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: did what they did to the Bucks in a similar situation.

283
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: They went to Milwaukee one game six and then blew

284
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 3: the Bucks out of the water. It's known as the

285
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 3: Grant Williams Game in Game seven in the Eastern Semis

286
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: last year. I just feel that history repeats itself. That

287
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: may be a reason why. But I just really like

288
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: Boston today.

289
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: Last I saw looking at about a six, six and

290
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: a half point spread for later on Game seven. We

291
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: always love Game seven. Saw Mother's Day here, we have

292
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: a nice brunch, everybody's sitting down and let's watch the NBA.

293
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: It's not a bad way.

294
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 3: To go, No, not at all. But I don't know

295
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: if we're going to be watching, yes, but you know,

296
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's not a bad day for us.

297
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: Happy Mother's Day to my mom as well my wife. Yes,

298
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: and all the mom's out there.

299
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: I'm out there. I mean everybody's called a mother at

300
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: some point. It's the old joke my uncle used to

301
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: run back in the day.

302
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: Mother I was, I was wished, happy to dance. I

303
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: was wished when I when I left from the A

304
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: place this morning, Usa, USA, you going, I did say

306
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: I'll take it.

307
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: No, no, he It takes a village. We all filled

308
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: different roles, and however you fill the roles in a

309
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: child's life for those around you. Man, there's you know,

310
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,760

312

332
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: As you go on the highways and byways. If you

333
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: have something equivalent of a USA donuts in your neighborhood,

334
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: you know what never hurts to bring a box to

335
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 2: wherever gathering you're going to. You know, there's a hallway

336
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 2: at the at every parish I've ever been to, every church,

337
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 2: regardless of denomination, every home will obviously take a donor.

338
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: You can walk around the neighborhood, you know, walk your dog,

339
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: hand out donuts. You can be the hero of the day.

340
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: And right now you are being fitted for an award

341
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: as the employee of the moment.

342
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 3: Well, it's you know, it's been a while since we

343
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 3: brought in donuts, and I figured, since I just paid

344
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 3: double for some street flowers, why not bring in some

345
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 3: suits for the for the morning. And I'll tell you what,

346
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 3: USA Donuts. This is just not an advertisement, just the

347
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: most generic name for a donuts store that you could

348
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: have in this country. They came through. So of the

349
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: probably fifteen thousand USA Donuts that are around this country,

350
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 3: and some version or another, the one near our studios

351
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 3: came through this morning.

352
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 2: You know, maybe the cidical guy. And that's the greatest

353
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 2: name to be able to do whatever you want it

354
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: under the banner of USA Dons. In terms of businesses,

355
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: I remember going a few weeks ago, not to go

356
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: deep on this tangent, but I could have gotten a

357
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: dozen donuts along with a carton of my favorite cigarettes.

358
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 3: Right But all that I realized cigarettes were about ten

359
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 3: dollars a pack.

360
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 2: I knew they taxed the hell out of.

361
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 3: Them, but wow, they aren't cheap.

362
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: I remember having I don't smoke. If my parents smoked

363
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: many many years ago, I mean, now that would break

364
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 2: the bank. Now, I mean that would be even here.

365
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 2: Smoke up Johnny.

366
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: Is it the tax or is it that they have

367
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 3: to make up for all the people that just don't

368
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 3: smoke anymore.

369
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: Well, I think a little bit of both, but certainly,

370
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: I mean, look, we know, once you're in, you're in. Well,

371
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: but you know, the syntax is a real thing, sure,

372
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: and not syntax s hyn no sin s I n I.

373
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: I am not a smoker of anything. But it just

374
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: seems like the emergence of marijuana and its legalities has

375
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 3: also put a dent into the you know.

376
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's changed, yeah, nanging economics circumstances.

377
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 3: There used to be an area in our building. This

378
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 3: is pre COVID, and so that could have something to

379
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 3: do with it. But was a smoker's area. That is

380
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 3: no longer a smoker's area. It's just a commonplace. It

381
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: was right outside the door, there was this smoking area,

382
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 3: and you just don't see him a lot anymore. They'll

383
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 3: be back.

384
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: First CA at the end of your first year, Discover

385
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: credit cards automatically double all the cash back you've earned.

386
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: That's right, everything you earned doubled. Seriously see terms. Check

387
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 2: it out for yourself at discovered dot com. Slash match.

388
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: Monty Williams out in Phoenix. I saw the data point

389
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: with all the elimination games that he has coached, and

390
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: this is look, don't win coach of the year. Is

391
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: really what it comes down to. As we've learned in

392
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks, win coach of the year.

393
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: You raise expectation. What happens when you have expectations, you

394
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 2: get disappointed. So like Holverer. Simpson would say, never try.

395
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 2: But in this case you got a guy that the

396
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: margin of defeat is ridiculous in terms of the exit games.

397
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: Talking a total, I think I saw what all the

398
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: exits combined, ninety four points or thereabouts, and we watched

399
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: them no show in a home game, in a home

400
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: game for elimination. Now we can talk about Chris Paul,

401
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 2: and we could talk about DeAndre and there's a lot

402
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 2: about Ayton and trade request preseason into this season, into injuries,

403
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: who's injured, who's not? Because we had that debate, right,

404
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: can you wear the flak jacket? We saw Andrew Wiggins

405
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: gut it out. He looked like he was absolutely miserable

406
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: playing in that game against the Lakers the other night,

407
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: but he gutted it out. People wondering if Aton should

408
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 2: have done the same. Anytime you're building a squad where

409
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: Chris Paul and his health is something you're heavily reliant on,

410
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: it's problematic in and of itself. So you've already seen

411
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: front office people, scouts, a bunch of things that got jumbled.

412
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: You have a new owner in Ishpia, and I would

413
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: argue that the way that team came out and competed,

414
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: and we're on radio so you can't see me big

415
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: air quotes for the word competed in that closeout game,

416
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: that was more embarrassing than Ishbia not giving nicolea Jokicchen

417
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 2: the ball back earlier in this series.

418
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 3: Yes, and for the second straight year, to do it

419
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: in a game when your season is on the line,

420
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: last year's Game seven against the Mavericks, and that embarrassment.

421
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 3: You combine it with this, You combine it with new ownership.

422
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: You combine it with a team that I just on paper,

423
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 3: Mike looks great on paper, like you can make an

424
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: argument that it is a championship caliber team. But you

425
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 3: then have to play the game and then you find

426
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 3: out how thin your depth is where you lack the

427
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: third scorer, especially when Chris Paul is out there are

428
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: a lot of issues, but the NBA, if it's any league,

429
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 3: Mike that if you're going to make a change or

430
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 3: you need to do something, head coach is the one

431
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 3: to do. Heck, three weeks ago on the show, we

432
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: did a feud and gave you the longest tenured coaches

433
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 3: in the NBA, and we had a you know, this

434
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: is on the heels of Nick Nurse being fired, who

435
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: was not returning, and.

436
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: So in that time we've not last way of saying,

437
00:22:59,320 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: you know.

438
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: Many Williams and Mike Budenholzer out so like we have

439
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 3: this so we could do it again today and have

440
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 3: a twenty five percent new list if we did the future.

441
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: Yet it becomes a fall guy is situation, and again

442
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: your team didn't show up right, there's something where that's

443
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: a reflection on the coach, just like we were just

444
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: talking about with Philadelphia and Doc Rivers in big, big games,

445
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: big moments, something's lacking Monti Williams in the post game

446
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 2: some of the more ridiculous comments ever, I'm not an

447
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 2: excuse maker. I'm not a guy like that. You know,

448
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: Devin Booker's foot really impacted him a lot. Devin Booker,

449
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: who decided not to talk to anybody after the game,

450
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 2: and then the next day on exit interviews said I'm

451
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: not talking either a bad look on him, but the

452
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 2: old rule of thumb plays here in sportstock radio, sports media,

453
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 2: and the water coolers literal and figurative nationwide. You play,

454
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about it.

455
00:23:59,240 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 3: Right.

456
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 2: Yes, you can be impacted and we can make it

457
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: part of it. But you played, yes, and you played poorly,

458
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: right that that's just the way it works. Nobody is

459
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: one hundred percent at this point in the season. We

460
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: talked about the depth of that squad when the trade

461
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: was made, going wow, you really you push it all

462
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: in like this is being on tilt at a poker

463
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: table and just saying we've got stars and people are vulnerable.

464
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 2: We're taking our shot this year.

465
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 3: I thought it was a bad trade before we saw

466
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 3: how well mickil Bridges played for Brooklyn.

467
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 2: Well they ended up making the playoffs. Camp Johnson showed

468
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 2: in stretches that he's a guy that could be a

469
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 2: four still a youngster, and you gave up four four

470
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 2: first round picks, yeah, unprotected.

471
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 3: And a pick swap and a pick swap. In twenty

472
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: twenty eight, like that is it is. It is going

473
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 3: to be difficult. And I'll say two things because one

474
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: is about Minty Williams. Mine Williams also did not help

475
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: himself by not talking with DeAndre eighth in the entire offseason.

476
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 3: So Ayton gets the extension and you can you can

477
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 3: pin the problems on him, Mike. But just as Devin

478
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 3: Booker needs to be a leader and meet the press

479
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 3: and show up to an exit interview and have something

480
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: to say to the media, because Kevin Durant just showed up,

481
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: Chris Paul has been in and out. It is Devin

482
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: Booker's team as a player. So as much as he

483
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 3: needs to talk to the media, if you're the head coach,

484
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 3: I don't care the problems that you had had with

485
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 3: DeAndre Ayton. You can't go an entire off season and

486
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: not talk to a guy who, by the way, was

487
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 3: in the crosshairs of a lot of criticism from people,

488
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 3: and you give him an extension and there's still no conversation.

489
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 3: What is going on? There's like that can't happen. So

490
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: there's there's enough there. The other part, now, which I

491
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: think is a legitimate conversation as you look where Phoenix

492
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: is and we get these conversations, We get him about

493
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: the Warriors after they were out stood by the Lakers,

494
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 3: and it is what is the future of the Phoenix Suns.

495
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 3: And when you lay when you mentioned, you know, no

496
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: first round pick for the loss of four first round

497
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: picks for that Durant deal, the pick swap, that they

498
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 3: don't have the depth that they don't have. I think

499
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant's days of winning an NBA title are over.

500
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 3: I don't see how Phoenix can reload so quickly. And

501
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: then Mike likely, Chris Paul gone, DeAndre Ayton gone. What

502
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: is their real value? How do what they put on

503
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 3: the floor most recently, how is that value to other

504
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 3: teams in terms of bringing stuff in? Now, Phoenix doesn't

505
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 3: need a superstar, but there are still pieces that they're

506
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 3: going to need to put together. And I don't know

507
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 3: what Chris Paul and DeAndre at and provide. On top

508
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 3: of the fact that Kevin Durant now is at the

509
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 3: part of the point of his career where he can't

510
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 3: stay healthy. So now you've got questions about Durant's health.

511
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: Durant is not like Lebron James. He's going to be

512
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: thirty five. Durant's gonna be thirty five. So you look

513
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 3: at the injuries, you look at where he is. Plus

514
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 3: he's a guy who scores. Lebron's doing a remarkable clip

515
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 3: at his age, but Lebron does a lot of other

516
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 3: things well.

517
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 2: But that but that was the point, right, We know

518
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: Chris Paul there to help facilitate who does right. Yeah,

519
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 2: Devin Booker is a career four point seven assists per

520
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 2: game guy. And yes, Durant can move the ball a

521
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: little bit, but you don't have someone that takes over

522
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 2: and runs the show. And it owes back to Durant

523
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: go in his time in Golden State. Yeah, he was

524
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 2: the guy that won the MVPs. But look at what

525
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 2: was built, look at the infrastructure around him, the Phoenix.

526
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: You're starting from scratch with veteran players, guys long in

527
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 2: the tooth. As you mentioned, injury riddled, and that's what

528
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 2: we saw this year, right, every one of those guys

529
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: missed time with injury during the year. Hell, Kevin Durant

530
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 2: got hurt in the warm up layup line before where

531
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 2: he made his debut. So I mean, you've got all

532
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: that and then you're banking on that not only to

533
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 2: get you through whatever, because you only need to be

534
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: as we're seeing, you only need to just get into

535
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: the dance, which is something we've always talked about as Hey,

536
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: we just need to get on the board and be

537
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: healthy and right. And that's part of the testament of

538
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 2: what we've got from the Lakers. To a degree, there's

539
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: more and it's more nuanced, but Ad and Lebron healthy,

540
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: you always have a puncher's chance in Phoenix. Do you

541
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 2: ever feel like you're gonna be able to go not

542
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 2: only a regular season, but that a full three months

543
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 2: of a playoff season, because it is a season with

544
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: that group assembled, and now you're in a situation you

545
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: can't reload. Are you gonna who's who's coming there on

546
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: the cheap to play with these guys? Is the other

547
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: side right? Because you need to round out a bench.

548
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: And if you're going to get rid of Chris, but

549
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: what are you getting for him? What are you getting

550
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: for DeAndre Ayton?

551
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, a guy who's been questioned for.

552
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: His health, for his attitude, and for his ability to

553
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 2: stay on the court.

554
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: And I'll also say this in an Russell Westbrook's not

555
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 3: the greatest example, but you know, the Lakers did swing

556
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 3: and miss and bringing in guys and this core that

557
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: they've now got in and guys that they've brought in

558
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 3: and kept h have worked out like this is worked out.

559
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: So it's not as easy as the Lakers are making

560
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: it look and formulating a team and getting a team

561
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 3: to give you certain pieces like you have to hit

562
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 3: on that. And time is running out with Phoenix when

563
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 3: it comes to Durant and the whole other conversation that

564
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 3: we aren't having mic and maybe it's because Miami makes

565
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 3: a run to the Eastern Conference finals and the Lakers

566
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 3: are a seventh seed in the Western Conference finals. Is

567
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 3: when you look at the West, you think Sacramento is

568
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 3: gonna go anywhere. If Denver ends up breaking through, you

569
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 3: think that they're just gonna, you know, wilt anymore.

570
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: We just paid those guys. They're all there. That core

571
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: is sick.

572
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 3: That yeah, that West is I mean, there's gonna be

573
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 3: changes in Golden State. We know that, and who knows

574
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen with the Lakers, but my goodness, like

575
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 3: that's it's tough to navigate. And so the teams that you, okay,

576
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 3: when the Warriors runs over. Then we'll make our pos

577
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 3: and now you got to deal with Denver. Now you

578
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: got to deal with Sacramento, Memphis, whole other story.

579
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: Wait, well we'll get into yeah, yeah, but we've got

580
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: yeah a morning but.

581
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, the West is yeah, it's not it's not gonna

582
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 3: be easy.

583
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: Curiosity. It was funny because one of the not funny.

584
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: I hate when people lose their jobs, but you know,

585
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: part of the job here is to talk about these

586
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 2: circumstances and what could facilitate change and how it goes.

587
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: One of the first notes was that a couple of

588
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: scouts had been let go in Phoenix, and I have

589
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 2: no doubt that watching and they were sitting around watching

590
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves play when part of that came up. It's like,

591
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: why don't we have any guys that come popping on

592
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 2: our reeds like this guy? Why is every team finding

593
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: this guy to be the third guy on a given

594
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: night and give the stars some help? So curiosities as

595
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: we flow through, but was not a surprise, no show effort,

596
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: no accountability from anybody hitting the podium or ducking it

597
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: in Phoenix. They move on. He's damn Bayer on my

Speaker 5: in the passenger seat of a car briefly brandishing what

620
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 5: appears to be a gun. It is unclear when the

621
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 5: video was originally live streamed. Two months ago, Moran was

622
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 5: suspended after live streaming himself on his own Instagram account

623
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 5: brandishing a gun at a Denver area club elsewhere. Much

624
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 5: like with Nikola Jokich, new Phoenix Suns owner Matt Ishbia

625
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 5: is not giving Monty Williams the ball back either. On

626
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 5: Saturday night, Ishbia fired is highly regarded head coaches, two

627
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 5: seasons removed from an NBA Finals appearance. ESPN reports Ishbia

628
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 5: decided to fire Williams immediately after Thursday Night's season ending

629
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 5: loss to Denver in Game six of the West semis

630
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 5: and had general manager James Jones call Williams on Saturday

631
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 5: night to deliver the bad news. Classy anyway today at

632
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 5: three point thirty Eastern Game seven of the Eastern Conference

633
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 5: Semi Finals, with the Boston Celtics hosting the Philadelphia seventy

634
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 5: six ers. In Game six of the NHL's Western Conference

635
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 5: Semi Finals Saturday night, the Seattle Kraken to be to

636
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 5: the Dallas Stars six to three to force a Game seven. Fellas,

637
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 5: all yours appreciate you.

638
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 2: At Isaac Loncrower you find him. He had another heartbreaking

639
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: call for Angel City yesterday a tough one that went

640
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 2: against the squad, and I applaud him, being the newsman

641
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: that he is, that he didn't go for the obvious

642
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 2: Monty jokes in the game show department as we were

643
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: talking about Gene Rayburn and the match came in just

644
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: moments before that. But yes, we do need to dive

645
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: into this Jahn Morant story in Earnest Dan.

646
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 3: Let's do it ig live.

647
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: It's trending everywhere. As Isaac said, Happy Mother's Day. That's

648
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 2: the positive side. But now we've got to go into

649
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: this world of sports that unfortunately we take one of

650
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: the game's young superstars and once again an investigation will

651
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 2: be opened by the league. We'll talk about it coming

652
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,080

00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:10,000

672
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 2: uh kind of rants out.

673
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 3: My mom is listening, so again, mother's data to her lover.

674
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 2: So you're just here. You had a good, good run,

Speaker 2: ten minutes from now. Both Dan and I spotlighted one

684
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 2: huge problem with the NFL schedule release. It was a

685
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: report that came out after that, you know initial you know,

686
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 2: rush of adrenaline that every but he got for the

687
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 2: ordering of the two hundred and seventy two games. We'll

688
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: do that in ten minutes.

689
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 3: It also just signals another bat signal that maybe the

690
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 3: NFL isn't as great as you think it is. I

691
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 3: know it's blasphemous to say, Mike, but there are reasons

692
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 3: where if you just look a little bit closer, there

693
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 3: are issues.

694
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 2: Can you sing a few bars of dig a little

695
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 2: deeper from Princess and the Frog Ain, Oh, we're still

696
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 2: We're still getting you into the Disney cartoons. There's one

697
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 2: for playing later on. We have a story Isaac alluded

698
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 2: to it that is starting to gain traction in a

699
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 2: big way. John Morant, who we know, over the course

700
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 2: of the season, had a number of incidents raised, you know,

701
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 2: a fight over a pickup game, having a gun in

702
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: a club. Well, now there's a video that's making the round.

703
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 2: Trying to figure out dates and timelines and everything else.

704
00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 2: It seemed as if he had found his peace as

705
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: he exited. Remember when the Grizzlies were dismissed from the

706
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 2: playoffs and he was singing the hey, hey, hey goodbye.

707
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: He did the speaking points in his exit, saying, hey,

708
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 2: I cost us, I've got to be better, I've got

709
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: to learn. Well, now we've got this short video that

710
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: went to an ig live account.

711
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 3: It's solid joke of.

712
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 2: Him holding a gun and that screenshot and you see it.

713
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 2: It's quickly, but it's a guy that the world is there, right.

714
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 2: He's one of the most exciting players we have in

715
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: this game. The world is at your feet, and showing

716
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 2: that even with all of that, people are still going

717
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: to make bad decisions.

718
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,479
Speaker 3: I had so many issues and I didn't believe John

719
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 3: Morant for one second that he was a changed person,

720
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 3: not for one second. And it's why Jalen Rose is

721
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 3: interview and then Jalen Rose trying to stand up for

722
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: himself for the questions he asked. It was propaganda. It

723
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 3: was an absolute joke. You don't go to therapy for

724
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 3: what fourteen hours, yeah, or or a couple of days

725
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 3: and come back and feel that that you're better, no

726
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 3: matter what issues you have, whether it be with substance, abuse. Uh,

727
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 3: you know, emotional distress. It does not change that. And

728
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 3: that narrative of him being away he would missed eight

729
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 3: games total, was that what it was? He was away

730
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 3: from the team for a week and a half to

731
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: six games and then ends up coming back and everything

732
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 3: is all right. That's a joke. He didn't learn anything

733
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 3: like and obviously with this video, it didn't learn anything.

734
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: This is a this is a live video from yesterday,

735
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 3: and obviously the screen grab shows John Moran, but you

736
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 3: can't see it really with the naked eye when you're

737
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 3: watching the video. But this is this. I hate feeling vindicated, Mike,

738
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 3: because this isn't a good This isn't I guess what

739
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 3: I picked the winner of the Super Bowl sort of thing.

740
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 3: John Morant did not change one bit for what happened

741
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 3: in the latter part of this year, and for anybody

742
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 3: that said that he did or could understand for his

743
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 3: words or could. I mean there such an NBA car

744
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 3: wash sort of interview of him meeting with Adam Silver

745
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 3: and then two hours later you're meeting with ESPN. It's

746
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 3: this whole product and making it look good and clean.

747
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 3: What an absolute joke. If I'm Adam Silver. You have

748
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 3: to lay the hammer down when it comes to some

749
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 3: sort of punishment from this, because nothing, absolutely nothing was

750
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 3: learned from John Morant.

751
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: Well, I would say this if history tells us anything

752
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 2: that ain't coming from Adam Silver until the courts get

753
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 2: involved or there's something where there is a criminal element

754
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 2: to it. And even then we watched those complaints kind

755
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 2: of got pushed away that we've had from John Belien.

756
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 3: He made Adam Silver look like a fool, and Adam

757
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 3: Silver is at times done enough for himself to look ridiculous.

758
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 3: But now for John Morant, so I never bought any

759
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 3: of it, didn't buy what there was. Nothing that happened, Mike,

760
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 3: was a true penalty to John Morant, except maybe missing

761
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 3: a few game checks. That was it.

762
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: Well, but that's you have the hope that you figure

763
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 2: it out, that someone in your circle, your family makes

764
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 2: you understand how much there is to lose. And I'm

765
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 2: not just talking from the dollars and cents. Let's talk

766
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 2: about from your life right that you'd realize that you're

767
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: running down a bad path. Clearly, no lessons learned here.

768
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 2: He's Dan Bayer, I'm Mike Carmon coming up next. Why

769
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 2: is Ohio the focal point of our angst in scheduling

770
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three grinnings and welcome in Happy Mother's Day,

771
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: wherever you may be, however you may be celebrating. I

772
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 2: get it. Not everybody's got the greatest of relationships and

787
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 3: because I was the one taking them down. And then

788
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:39,720
Speaker 3: there was tape stuck to windows and glass. No signs, please,

789
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 3: no signs. I'm the guy that had to clean it

790
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 3: up because they stood up there and then you take

791
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 3: off the sign and then the tape stays, and then

792
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: now you're scrapping. Now you're scraping.

793

Speaker 3: That's or worst tape.

795
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,480

Speaker 3: Either way.

797
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,239

Speaker 2: Certainly the sugar and you know what it gets, what

799
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:07,160

800
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: So I appreciate that. You also hit the flowers. I

801
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 2: saw that over at the Whole Foods down the street.

802
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 2: They they were up and getting ready and mobilizing when

803
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 2: I came in about five o'clock this morning.

804
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I paid. You mentioned the price I

805
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 3: gets double Yeah, it's double.

806
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 2: Bay the piper. I mean, look, it is what it is,

807
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 2: you know. And if you go and and you haven't

808
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: bought the greeting cards yet, because for some folks that's important,

809
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 2: like from my mom, the greeting card is key, so

810
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 2: you've got to either design your own. And my kids

811
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 2: are older now, so saying hey, draw grandma card gets

812
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 2: met with a yeah, I get there because when they want,

813
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 2: when they sit down to actually do a project like that,

814
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 2: it's on their tablets and it's going to take a while.

815
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 2: My older daughter is a perfectionist when it comes down

816
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 2: to you, like, I got to make sure the shades

817
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 2: are right and I've got the right proper layering and

818
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 2: all of these things. Can we just can we just

819
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: get something to it'd be great.

820
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 3: One of my favorite things of being a new dad

821
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 3: our boy just turned too recently is now he's into

822
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 3: the into the drawing, the painting and playing with markers

823
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 3: and pens.

824
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 2: A lot of tied shirts are quasi tied ie shirts

825
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 2: coming for Dan byers the paint.

826
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 3: When you put a card in front of him, he

827
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 3: goes to town.

828
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: He wants to go to town.

829
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yes, so like I like seeing that because

830
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 3: originally it was a little difficult. Now there's no there's

831
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 3: no letters, there are no letters that are actually written,

832
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: but there are markings and.

833
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 2: I just get the ink pen down.

834
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah that's actually not a bad idea as well, but

835
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 3: maybe maybe for the next time. But yeah, he goes

836
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 3: to town now and you put a pen in his hand.

837
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 2: So aver, you're commemorating today to from services, out walking

838
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 2: the dogs, sitting around having a cup of coffee, reading

839
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 2: h the vestiges of the newspaper industry, or online, perhaps

840
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: the same way, playing a game of solitaire, all of

841
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 2: those things. We appreciate you being part of our extended

842
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 2: family here at Fox Sports Radio, on the highways and

843
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 2: byways of life.

844
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 3: The sorry, Sam just went and grabbed a little, uh

845
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 3: enjoyment of the donuts.

846
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 2: There's nobody that enjoys free stuff more than our guy, Ioway,

847
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: saying he's in from mark Kanas the first hour. Well, Isaac,

848
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: of course, but since he can't do a sign, I

849
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 2: don't know what he's gonna do with him.

850
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 3: So I apologize for being distracted. I thought there was

851
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 3: something that he was showing, no, and I'm like, and

852
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 3: then and then I saw the delicious goodness in his hand.

853
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 2: So that's you'd probably shove another one in his podcast.

854
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 3: That's all right, that's all right.

855
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 2: You gotta gotta double fist the donuts because look, it's

856
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 2: the old rule that we had in our house. Mom

857
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 2: would make dinner, and you know, there as you're doing

858
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 2: grocery shopping, sometimes the numbers don't quite add up of

859
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 2: how many people are around what's in a package versus

860
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 2: the number of people at the table, you know, and

861
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 2: our thing it was always don't be shy because what's

862
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,720
Speaker 2: theirs there? And if you didn't get second, your fork

863
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 2: wasn't fast enough there.

864
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 3: There's a great feeling when everybody is full and there

865
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 3: are no leftovers, like you'd like you hit the number,

866
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 3: your guess was correct. It's a different feeling when there

867
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 3: are too many leftovers as opposed to not enough for everyone,

868
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 3: not enough for everyone. I just I feel it's just

869
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 3: an absolute fail. Throw out the extra stuff if I mean,

870
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 3: just order more, just err on the safe side, That's

871
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:32,919
Speaker 3: what I say.

872
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, my dad was always never be ashamed to pile

873
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 2: it on, but when he would grill out, you'd have

874
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 2: food for a couple of days, yes, because you didn't

875
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 2: want to cook again. And as a guy who does

876
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 2: most of the cooking another part. Yeah, after a while,

877
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 2: I was like, it's Friday, I don't want to order out,

878
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 2: but damn it, I don't want to be in the

879
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 2: kitchen again. And I think a lot of folks can

880
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 2: empathize with this. And on a Mother's Day, you know what,

881
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 2: help mom out, grandma out, Auntie out aunt out, Like

882
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 2: however we're pronoun seeing the different terms. Whatever those people

883
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 2: are in your lives, you know, get just get the

884
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 2: order in because it canna take a little while longer,

885
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 2: no matter where you're going on a Sunday.

886
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 3: I get the sense that on Mother's Day it's like

887
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 3: take mom out. On Father's Day it's let dad cook.

888
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it's better than Russ did last year.

889
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 3: Fair enough.

890
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 2: Fair So I had to take the swipe because he

891
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 2: was front and center alongside Sean Payton for a Nuggets

892
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 2: game the other day, so plenty of time to look

893
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 2: into the rise and fall of the Denver Broncos twenty

894
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 2: twenty three schedule release was this week, Dan, and a

895
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 2: lot made on it people in local markets, no doubt,

896
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 2: going game by game, painstakingly through home roads, splits and

897
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 2: all that. To me, it's it's fine, don't get me wrong, it's.

898
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 3: I actually understand it more in local markets, yes, than

899
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 3: on a broader scale.

900
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. For me. The big moment though, was finding out

901
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 2: and a number of our brethren here at Fox Sports

902
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 2: Radio do work for the radio broadcasts of the Los

903
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 2: Angeles Chargers, including my executive producer on my show with

904
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 2: Jason Smith, and I've I can't get any information on them,

905
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 2: Like I don't ask about injuries or anything like that.

906
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 2: But I'm like, because they were really good and this goes,

907
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 2: you know, team to team, a lot of celebration about

908
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 2: schedule release videos, and the Chargers for the second straight

909
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 2: year had their anime that went over gangbusters and if

910
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 2: you haven't seen it, go find it. We'll retweet it

911
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 2: out here at Swollen Dome. There's but you have to

912
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 2: freeze frame it for every game because there's a lot

913
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 2: going on in imaging that they did.

914
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 3: Yes, but also, I mean, the Titans are the ones

915
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 3: who brought home the goal.

916
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 2: Oh that that was as good as a get.

917
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 3: They came out of nowhere. Now you're just wondering some

918
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 3: teams actually did the same thing, not that they stole

919
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 3: each other's ideas, but we're on the same page. I

920
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 3: just wonder when that jumps the shark a little bit

921
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 3: because everybody's trying to get in and let's be honest,

922
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 3: if everybody's doing it, that means that there's going to

923
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 3: be a really awesome idea. But there also is going

924
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 3: to be an idea that should be ranked thirty seconds

925
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 3: in the league.

926
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 2: Well, I think when we also get down to brass tacks,

927
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 2: we work in in radio, and depending on your perspective,

928
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 2: I certainly see revenue numbers. So anybody telling me that

929
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 2: stuff is quote unquote dying a bunch of dopes that

930
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 2: aren't going any digging any deeper. But you're also looking

931
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 2: at how cost effective. The thing the Titans did was, yes, right,

932
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 2: what did you have here? I've got my phone. Let's

933
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: hold up some graphics. So we printed out on even

934
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: if it's company inc. What are we talking about? Three

935
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: bucks maximum for the paper and ink and here's someone's

936
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 2: phone and a little stick mic or whatever. We got

937
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 2: done quick at it, put it together, no time invested

938
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 2: at all. And so when we're talking about budgetary constraints

939
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 2: on different things, I mean, this costs you nothing.

940
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,919
Speaker 3: There's a lot with the schedule release. But what I

941
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 3: took from this is actually what came out after the fact.

942
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 3: And we had the matchups and I made predictions, got

943
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,479
Speaker 3: opening night wrong, got the two Thanksgiving Day games wrong.

944
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 3: But I think I did say you'd have Chiefs Jets

945
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 3: on Sunday night football, which wasn't a big deal. That

946
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 3: was we kind of figured to be home.

947
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,959
Speaker 2: You got to take some chalk where you can't. Let's

948
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 2: do I want to do the Ohio bit, and I

949
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 2: don't want to give that its full voice. But looking

950
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 2: at the clock, the opening night choice to have the

951
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions, yes inspired curious. Dan Campbell gets to bite

952
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 2: knees on Opening Night.

953
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 3: I the reason why I think we have the Lions

954
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 3: is because I think that the NFL did not want

955
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 3: to give preferential treatment to the Kansas City Chiefs. And

956
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 3: I feel that opening Night and if you look back historically,

957
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 3: home teams in the twenty one kickoff games that we've

958
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 3: had Mike on Thursday Night, home teams have a record

959
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 3: of sixteen and five, and prior to last year it

960
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 3: was sixteen and four. Buffalo went to La beat the

961
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,479
Speaker 3: Rams was one of the five times where the road

962
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 3: team won. I felt that the NFL said to themselves

963
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 3: and they had a different explanation. Their explanation was because

964
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 3: you picked the Dolphins, I picked the Bengals for what

965
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 3: we thought opening night was. They felt that those games

966
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,240
Speaker 3: were better served. Same thing with their Bills matchup later

967
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 3: on in the season when they would affect the standings

968
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 3: and would do better for ratings. That is true, like

969
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 3: the opening night game is going to rate no matter

970
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 3: what first game of the year, it's going to rate,

971
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 3: whether you have the Bills, Dolphins, or in this case,

972
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 3: the Lions. Understood. But what I think really happened to

973
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 3: Mike was the uproar with the Damar Hamlin game that

974
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 3: was not rescheduled, and then the we're going to play

975
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 3: at a neutral so Kansas City wouldn't have to go

976
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 3: to Buffalo if Buffalo ended up winning their final game.

977
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 3: And I felt that there were a lot of people

978
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 3: that felt the Chiefs were getting the benefit of the doubt.

979
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 3: Now Cincinnati went to Buffalo, ruined any chance of a

980
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 3: neutral field. Maybe the Chiefs would have done the same,

981
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 3: but I think that the NFL was like, we can't

982
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 3: put Cincinnati, Buffalo, or even Miami for that matter, because

983
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 3: of the stakes, because of what is at stake, and

984
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 3: it is home field, it is that number one seed,

985
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 3: and to play that first game of the year. I

986
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 3: think that they didn't want They didn't want the appearance

987
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 3: that Kansas City was being favored again, and so guess what,

988
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,919
Speaker 3: let's do a cross conference the least appealing. It wasn't

989
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 3: even the best cross conference game, Mike, you could put

990
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 3: the Eagles in a Super Bowl rematch. But that's why

991
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 3: I think that we got Lions Chiefs. That was my opinion.

992
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,359
Speaker 3: I think that the NFL wanted to show, hey, we're

993
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 3: not favoring Kansas City, so let's just put the line

994
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 3: in there. Nice story. They are a great story. I

995
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 3: don't think that they're Opening Night worthy.

996
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 2: But that's but that's the larger thing, right is trying

997
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 2: to determine all of these because let's face it, you're

998
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 2: gonna watch the if you watch the NFL, you're watching

999
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 2: regardless out of the jump. So whenever we have like

1000
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,240
Speaker 2: the first two or three weeks where it's all these matches,

1001
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 2: like look how great the matchups are right out of

1002
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 2: the gains, like, we don't need that. It's the NFL,

1003
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 2: we don't need that. At any point, people are gonna watch,

1004
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 2: like I thought, for the purpose of we're talking teams

1005
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 2: at full strength and jumping into a new year. That's

1006
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 2: why you had Cincinnati, lots of storylines, lots of angles.

1007
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 2: For me, it was Miami. And it's not to be

1008
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 2: crude about the health of Tua Tongue Vailoa. I'm just

1009
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: being a realist. Yes, of coming in week one. This

1010
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 2: is a team that we've done this with the NBA

1011
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,959
Speaker 2: for how many years? If they're healthy, dot dot dot,

1012
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 2: the roster looks like this, and here we have week

1013
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 2: one with the Dolans that we do this because we

1014
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 2: have all these other asenine scenarios as we'll break down

1015
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 2: where we've got the All right, let's play the same

1016
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 2: team twice in a three week period down the stretch

1017
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 2: like hell knows, Like those are all those division games

1018
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 2: in December to me are always just maddening. Yeah, I

1019
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 2: know they have weight and we're looking at the playoff

1020
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 2: product whatever it's like. But you get some teams have

1021
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 2: four of those in the first six weeks, and then

1022
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 2: you get other teams that are backloaded, and then it's

1023
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 2: the war of attrition, like there's no metering out to

1024
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:32,439
Speaker 2: make it make sense.

1025
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 3: Week four is like the sweet spot because I think

1026
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 3: that's when Chiefs Jets actually takes place. Yes, when Tom

1027
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 3: Brady went back to Foxborough as a member of the Buccaneers,

1028
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 3: they did it in week four. You get that a

1029
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 3: lot last year. Remember when Russell Wilson went back to Seattle,

1030
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 3: it was week one. Yeah, you want to know why

1031
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 3: it was week one because the NFL didn't want to

1032
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 3: risk for what they thought the sex would be zero

1033
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 3: to three entering that game that Russell Wilson, you know,

1034
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 3: barring injury. That's why they're like, we need to get

1035
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,439
Speaker 3: this in a primetime Spot's get it out of the way,

1036
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 3: move it week one. Let's do it. Because they thought

1037
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 3: the Seahawks were gonna stink. And to the point of

1038
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 3: what you're saying of you know why you picked two

1039
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 3: in the Dolphins if he's knocked out, Yeah, the Dolphins

1040
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 3: are gonna have some They're gonna have some troubles, may

1041
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 3: have troubles anyway. But yeah, those are the reasons why

1042
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 3: they did it, why they didn't pick those teams or

1043
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 3: but why you would put that in week one to

1044
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:33,280
Speaker 3: try to avoid those scenarios. I just I also actually

1045
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 3: think it's a bad spot for Detroit. It's the second

1046
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 3: straight game that the NFL has put them in a

1047
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 3: bad spot, even though they won in Green Bay. I

1048
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 3: don't think it was fair for them to have to

1049
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 3: go and play a night game at Lambeau. And they

1050
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 3: have the right attitude. They will play anybody anywhere. We want,

1051
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 3: but I thought it was an advantage for green Bay.

1052
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,760
Speaker 3: Green Bay didn't take advantage of it, and it wasn't

1053
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 3: an advantage. Detroit just beat them. But yeah, it's not

1054
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 3: a great spot for Detroit to, you know, have to

1055
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 3: go and play into the lights Kansas City on ring

1056
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 3: night again, sixteen and five home teams are Yeah.

1057
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 2: Again, it goes back to respect, but respect and what

1058
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 2: comes with it. Right, The fact that the Lions can

1059
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 2: be considered for such purchase is a great thing. But

1060
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 2: we all know how college homecomings work true as well.

1068
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 2: and the NFL said, eh, we'll tell you what that

1069

1072
00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 2: The NFL schedule release kind of a national holiday Mother's Day,

1073
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 2: maybe not the same cards and flowers, and well we codn't.

1074
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 2: My brothers were texting me, and this is a point

1075
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 2: I was getting to in the elongated lead up earlier,

1076
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,879
Speaker 2: was trying to get information out of Frostburg. I wasn't

1077
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 2: looking for any edges for any Gamely, It's like, literally,

1078
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 2: I just wanted to help my brothers beat the other

1079
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 2: Chicagoans that were going to book flights and hotels to

1080
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 2: come out here for when the Bears play the Chargers.

1081
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,720
Speaker 2: So as soon as I got that information, within five minutes,

1082
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 2: I got a note from my younger brother, Hi, Brian,

1083
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 2: I know you're out there listening, Like, yeah, flights, hotel

1084
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 2: are done, like just like that, Brian. So but I

1085
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 2: mean that's one of the things of schedule release. Why

1086
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 2: we had the international games, you know, and not that

1087
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 2: it was weeks in advance, but you had some inkling,

1088
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 2: you had local papers and whatever else that we started

1089
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 2: getting it. So it becomes a, yeah, a big expense

1090
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 2: kind of day in that regard of trying to figure

1091
00:56:58,160 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 2: out which road game you might.

1092
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 3: Pick and Sunday Night Football, Mike, I mean, is like,

1093
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 3: that's that's quite the billing. I can't remember a time

1094
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 3: when a team had the first overall pick, and I

1095
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 3: know they traded it away, but then was also put

1096
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 3: on Sunday Night Football on the original schedule.

1097
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 2: That is well, but also think of the number of

1098
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 2: big time games the Bears are scheduled for, which is

1099
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 2: it raises expectations, puts the spotlight on justin fields in

1100
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 2: a whole other way. Obviously the market of Chicago, and

1101
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 2: you're hoping that there's you know, if your network executives.

1102
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 2: And again in a little bit of a different way

1103
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 2: this year as to how broadcasts are going to work.

1104
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 2: We don't have the traditional NFC AFC his as.

1105
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 3: We have as much, yeah, as much before.

1106
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 2: But the fact that they got as many big dates

1107
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 2: as they did, even if a bunch of them could

1108
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 2: be flexed out on the back end, let's not be

1109
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 2: koy about it, but just off the jump, because the

1110
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 2: Chargers were also on the list of most appearances as well.

1111
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 3: They had the Chargers six six appearances in primetime games.

1112
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 3: I almost wonder if that was scheduled if they were

1113
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 3: like the Chargers will probably be up thirty four to three,

1114
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 3: and then Justin Fields will have this amazing comeback and

1115
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,959
Speaker 3: it will make for great drama on Sunday night trying

1116
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 3: to guess on how the game's going to play out.

1117
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 2: You think they just watched the tape of what the

1118
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 2: Jaguars did exactly. Yeah, in theory they changed out their

1119
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 2: trainers and they brought in Callen Moore, So we'll see

1120
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 2: what flows there. More on the Chargers and that a

1121
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 2: little later on in the show, Dan, I know it's

1122
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 2: something that's stuck out quite a bit, but we look

1123
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 2: at the Cincinnati Bengals and they were one of the

1124
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 2: candidates potentially to be in that opening slot team. We

1125
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 2: have great expectations for the offensive line. As I want

1126
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 2: to do with almost every team, is always want I'll

1127
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 2: always want a little bit more no matter how good

1128
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 2: they are, except in Philly they got too many guys,

1129
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 2: so you know, the offensive and defensive lines they seem

1130
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 2: to stockpile like their Alabama and Georgia. But we look

1131
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 2: at the Bengals and what's expected all the firepower Joe

1132
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 2: Burrow and they had based on a report offered to

1133
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 2: be the annual host or contributor at least to the

1134
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 2: Black Friday game as it was being introduced, which I've

1135
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 2: joked to like by time and there's a big promo running.

1136
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 2: Smith and I had a huge argument about it because

1137
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 2: he thinks it's a mistake to do this and to

1138
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 2: have this game, and I laughed, going, who's going to

1139
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 2: stores like Cyber Monday was the thing a decade and

1140
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 2: a half ago. Or if you're going to a store,

1141
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,479
Speaker 2: guess what they're doing midnight. They're doing three am, they're

1142
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 2: doing four am, whatever. By time you'd actually play the

1143
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 2: game unless it was overseas. People are back at their

1144
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 2: houses three o'clock. Right, they're back in their houses and

1145
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 2: they're probably shopping online while they're watching. So I joke

1146
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 2: that by the third quarter, Al Michaels will be sending

1147
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 2: me a vegematic. He will be selling me an air

1148
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,959
Speaker 2: frar or something. Hey click the code below for twenty

1149
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 2: nine to ninety nine. It's one of the partner offers

1150
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 2: right now on Amazon Black Friday Shopping. And I joke,

1151
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 2: but it's a great spot. Bengals. We know from a

1152
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 2: dollars and cents, we talk about cash poor teams and

1153
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 2: all in history has shown that there's a lot of

1154
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 2: things that have been put into movies and television that

1155
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 2: are winks and nods to the way that they've operated

1156
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 2: in terms of frugality, to use the kind term on it.

1157
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 2: I like the idea of a team owning that day,

1158
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 2: just like we have the Lions and Cowboys every Thanksgiving,

1159
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 2: that the Bengals could be the team that ushers in

1160
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 2: because look, they might be willing to pay for that

1161
01:00:56,240 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 2: spot right to be part of that game. Now we're

1162
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 2: talking about reinvesting in the product, and you have a

1163
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 2: bidding war for those types of games. I think there's

1164
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 2: a lot to it.

1165
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 3: There's a much bigger issue at hand, and it is

1166
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 3: the NFL going away first from stuff that is natural

1167
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 3: and organic for their own commercial and monetary benefit. And honestly,

1168
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 3: it's it's the NFL is such a cash cow. TV

1169
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 3: ratings through the roof. But Mike, there are times when

1170
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 3: it gets too much for me. The NFL has their schedules,

1171
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 3: they've got you know. It was it was great when

1172
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 3: we would see the military stuff that they do in November,

1173
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 3: and that has always been something. But guess what the

1174
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 3: NFL all of our camouflage gear is now going to

1175
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 3: come out. We're going to sell that. We're going to

1176
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 3: cash in on that. There. October is their cancer awareness month.

1177
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 3: Used to be breast cancer, now they do all cancers.

1178
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 3: Guess what by the new buy the new Bengals had

1179
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 3: online with all the because this is what the coaches

1180
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 3: are gonna wear. They monetize everything.

1181
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 2: Different colors and yes, yes and emblems.

1182
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,919
Speaker 3: Even when like good is being done, they still find

1183
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 3: a way to cash in. And this is what bothers

1184
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 3: me so much about this situation. They should have allowed

1185
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bengals to host Black Friday. They should have

1186
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 3: allowed the Bengals to have that as a tradition. This organization,

1187
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 3: pre Joe Burrow Mike has been one of the laughing

1188
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 3: stocks of the league. You want to talk about teams

1189
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 3: that are nondescript, the only thing that you could describe

1190
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 3: the Bengals were basically as losers for how long? Even

1191
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 3: when they would make the playoffs, they wouldn't win a

1192
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 3: game like that. That's that's what you had. So in

1193
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 3: one of your franchises of the thirty two, you could

1194
01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:00,040
Speaker 3: carve out your spot like the Lions. But here the

1195
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 3: NFL says, nah, you know what, We're gonna give it

1196
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 3: to the Dolphins and Jets because we just think that

1197
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 3: game in New York and and all the shopping in

1198
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 3: the market. To your point, everybody's shopping online now and

1199
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 3: who cares if people are shopping in New York. Guess

1200
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 3: what they're shopping in Chicago, they're shopping in la Guess

1201
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 3: what they're shopping in Cincinnati as well. And this is

1202
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 3: this was an opportunity for them to connect. Hey, who

1203
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:27,919
Speaker 3: are the Bengals playing on Black Friday? Just like we say,

1204
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 3: who are the Cowboys playing on Thanksgiving? Who are the

1205
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 3: Lions playing on Thanksgiving? You would have a decade of

1206
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow being your quarterback on Black Friday. That's a

1207
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 3: pretty good thing. And the city of Cincinnati, by the way,

1208
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 3: it's been screwed by Major League Baseball because the Reds

1209
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 3: were always the team to play the first opening day game.

1210
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 3: Have your Opening Day parade. Now we're opening up on

1211
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 3: a Thursday. Now they're they're you know, previously there were

1212
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 3: Sunday night games like they've taken away that the NFL

1213
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 3: could have came in and said, you know what this

1214
01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 3: is for you Cincinnati. This is for you, toy Bengals

1215
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 3: feel free and guess what, you could have had great matchups, Mike.

1216
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 3: You could put Aaron Rodgers in Cincinnati if they played,

1217
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 3: you could have done a lot of different things. But

1218
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 3: for the Bengals to be like, yeah, we want to

1219
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 3: do this in the NFL, to be like, oh, we're okay,

1220
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 3: we're gonna we're gonna try to figure out people like

1221
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 3: to shop in New York, so we're gonna play the

1222
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 3: game in New York. Ball crap. You know Aaron Rodgers

1223
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 3: in the game, that's why you did it. It is

1224
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 3: such a missed opportunity. And for as great as the

1225
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 3: NFL can be, and for how much we love fantasy

1226
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 3: and how much we love betting on games, at times

1227
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 3: the NFL could just kind of be so commercial and

1228
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 3: just so blah. And I know they want parody and

1229
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 3: that a lot of times, Mike, we've seen mediocre games

1230
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 3: and we've seen mediocre product. Here's another example of where

1231
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 3: they could take advantage of a team wanting to do

1232
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 3: something and ready to embrace it, and they say, now

1233
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 3: we've got our own better way. It's the same thing

1234
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 3: with the schedule. We know fourteen of the seventeen opponents

1235
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 3: that your Bears, my Seahawks, and every other NFL team

1236
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 3: will play next season, there is no surprise except for

1237
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 3: the three unknown opponents depending on standings. You and I

1238
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 3: have talked about how the Giants and Jets should play

1239
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 3: every single year, Rams and Chargers should play every single year,

1240
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 3: but the NFL is like, oh, I can't do that

1241
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 3: unevil scheduling, bull crap. Put something natural, put something organic

1242
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 3: into it. And that's what they took away from the

1243
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals. And it's a shame.

1244
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 2: Well, it's just funny because we have the argument every

1245
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 2: year talking about tradition and sports. You had an opportunity

1246
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 2: to create another one. Yes, all right because folks that

1247
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 2: want the Lions, and maybe they don't anymore because the

1248
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 2: Lions are fun and on the up, up, upswing in

1249
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 2: terms of Campbell and the personnel that you've brought in.

1250
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 2: Maybe that dies down a little bit this year, but

1251
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 2: what have we heard forever, get them off of the day,

1252
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 2: get them off of Thanksgiving, get the Cowboys out of there,

1253
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 2: cycle it out. I don't like the fact that they're

1254
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 2: all division games. I know it's a short week, but

1255
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 2: we talk about maximizing your television together. You're doing it

1256
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 2: for Black Friday with the Jets and Dolphins had them

1257
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 2: played non division opponents. Let's let's get a little wild

1258
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 2: on a Thursday when everybody can sit around and watch.

1259
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 2: But I get it short, shorter, prep, knowledge, familiarity, all

1260
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 2: of that in division, but where you can create a

1261
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 2: new tradition and have it start out. Look, we don't

1262
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 2: know how long this is gonna last. You reference the

1263
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 2: other the old Bengals because Marvin Lewis had how many

1264
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 2: bites of the apple they never broke through. But look

1265
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 2: at some of those iconic players. They it's a great

1266
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 2: ross teammate here, TJ. Huschman Zad alongside Chad Johnson, slash

1267
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 2: O Chosenko, Carson Palmer as a triggerman, Rudy Johnson was

1268
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 2: a beast for a while, Cedric Benson had a couple

1269
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 2: of good years. Corey Dillon going back a little ways,

1270
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you got a bunch of players that we

1271
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 2: have a t o for that one year. You had

1272
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 2: a bunch of guys that were able to come in

1273
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 2: and put up big numbers, and they were exciting from

1274
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 2: a fantasy and certainly you were watching for highlights on Sundays.

1275
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 2: Here's an opportunity to do something big, Like I'm all

1276
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 2: about get in and sell, sell, sell, right. If the

1277
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 2: market's commanding more and they want more product, you get

1278
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 2: them as much product as you can. Whenever I hear

1279
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 2: the players belly ache about it, because we'll get into

1280
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 2: that a little bit. Make it. Fitzpatrick an other about scheduling.

1281
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 2: You guys, You guys collectively bargained all these things, so

1282
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 2: there's only so much you can complain about.

1283
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. The the funny The funny thing about this is

1284
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 3: the NFL also trying to make us believe that by

1285
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 3: week thirteen or whenever, whenever that week is the point

1286
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 3: of Aaron Rodgers being a Jet is still going to

1287
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 3: be fresh. That's true too, Like, no, well, we've seen

1288
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 3: him just play eleven games, so like him playing on

1289
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 3: Black Friday is not going to be something where it's like,

1290
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 3: oh my goodness, I have to go.

1291
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 2: This is going to be the game they turned the

1292
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 2: corner man. Ye, like he's not known these guys for

1293
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 2: ten weeks.

1294
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 3: I get it. Monday Night football, for sure, the Chiefs

1295
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 3: game early the season, all right, got it. But at

1296
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 3: this point of the season. We have now become accustomed

1297
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 3: to Aaron Rodgers being a jet. To your point about Tua,

1298
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 3: you know, we don't know the health of him. We

1299
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 3: don't know the health of anybody. I'm sure you could say, well,

1300
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow could get hurt. Yeah, absolutely, But the Bengals

1301
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 3: could embrace it. It could be that sort of thing you

1302
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:22,559
Speaker 3: could have really given them, you know, a reason, you know,

1303
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 3: to put some value into into the franchise. And again

1304
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 3: with Joe Burrow as your quarterback, if they were the

1305
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 3: ones to host it, you got at least a decade

1306
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:35,440
Speaker 3: of having a star player in that game. Likely contracts

1307
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 3: obviously need to be sorted out, but that's you know,

1308
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 3: like you weren't taking a risk there, And I just

1309
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 3: I feel I feel bad for Cincinnati because it would

1310
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,639
Speaker 3: have been an opportunity and instead it's the NFL's marketing

1311
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 3: arm being like, you know, we we've got this, we'll

1312
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,760
Speaker 3: do We'll do the New York market police do something

1313
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:55,520
Speaker 3: for Cincinnati.

1314
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1315
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 2: I don't really care about Cincinnati, just the idea, but

1316
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 2: the idea of a team having that, yeah, having the

1317
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 2: being fourth Withith forthright and coming forward and saying here's

1318
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 2: the proposal of how we can own this. I would

1319
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:14,600
Speaker 2: have loved to see the PowerPoint presentation.

1320
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 3: The NFL has thirty two teams, and there are fans

1321
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 3: of all those teams across the country. But we know

1322
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,919
Speaker 3: the Cowboys, we know the Packers, we know the Steelers,

1323
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 3: we know those fan bases are huge. The Bengals were

1324
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,719
Speaker 3: in a group prior to Joe Burrow of just also

1325
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 3: rans in the NFL who they were. They were in

1326
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 3: that group with the Titans, they were in that group

1327
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 3: with the Texans teams that you're just kind of like

1328
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 3: whatever about Sorry they were and now they've got a

1329
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 3: superstar quarterback and you could put some cachet on it

1330
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 3: and you could put some value to it as well.

1331
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 3: You could put some value to Cincinnati, because it isn't

1332
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 3: just a Cincinnati thing. It's also those other teams that

1333
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 3: were also trying to find their place and maybe want

1334
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:51,640
Speaker 3: a bigger piece of the pie in the NFL than

1335
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 3: some of these fan bases. And the NFL doesn't allow

1336
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 3: you to do it. Let's just give it to the

1337
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 3: Jets because they're in New York.

1338
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 2: Stupid well, Jason Smith's so I'll have to hear it

1339
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 2: about that for eleven weeks. You know what's fortunate. Though,

1340
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 2: I probably won't work Black Friday. I'll probably be at

1341
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 2: home watching the game.

1342
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 3: Good for you.

1343
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 2: I'll cookie a turkey or maybe I won't. Maybe I'll

1344
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 2: maybe I'll show up to scream about them on Friday night.

1345
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 2: Well we'll see that months down. Well that's it months

1346
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 2: A nice turkey sandwich with a moistmaker, like was stolen

1347
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 2: all those years ago on Friends. See we leave no

1348
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 2: pop culture stone unturned as we come to you. A

1349
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 2: lot from the Tirak dot com studios. Yeah, get the

1350
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 2: smaller markets involve, whether it's Cincinnati or somebody else. Seemed

1351
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 2: like a missed opportunity. Instead, Jets, Jets, Jets and more Jets.

1352
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 2: Here's a guy with an update on the sporting universe,

1353
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 2: which I defy him. I order him not to no

1354
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 2: Jets talk. It's Isaac Low and Crow.

1355
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 5: Oh, no worries. I can only imagine what you're going through, Mike,

1356
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 5: and what you will be going through five days a

1357
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 5: week until.

1358
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.

1359
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 4: You know what?

1360
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 2: I have gotten a blessing though he was off on Friday,

1361
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 2: so we didn't have to do any NIX memorial and

1362
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 2: the Mets steak. So we're other than making one line

1363
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 2: jokes at them, we're not really talking about them.

1364
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 5: Extrad the calm before the proverbial storms.

1365
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 2: Speaking this time, speaking.

1366
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 5: Of storms, there's one brewing because Memphis Grizzlies star John

1367
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 5: Morant is trending right now due to the spread of

1368
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 5: a video from an Instagram live stream by one of

1369
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 5: Morant's friends, in which a person who appears to be

1370
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 5: Morant is shown in the passenger seat of a car

1371
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 5: briefly brandishing what appears to be a gun. It's unclear

1372
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 5: when the video was originally live streamed. Remember, two months ago,

1373
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 5: Morant was suspended after live streaming himself on his own

1374
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 5: Instagram account brandishing a gun at a gentleman's club. By

1375
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 5: the way, related terms also trending right now jaw wick,

1376
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 5: damn jaw, and oddly enough, David Stern, even though former

1377
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 5: commissioner Stern departed a some three years ago. On Saturday Night,

1378

Speaker 5: k New, Phoenix Suns owner matt Ishbia fired highly regarded

1379
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 5: head coach Monty Williams just two seasons after the Suns

1380
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:13,719
Speaker 5: made an NBA Finals appearance. Phoenix was eliminated this time

1381
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 5: around from the Western Conference Semifinals this past Thursday by

1382
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,040
Speaker 5: Denver got it up at three thirty Eastern today, Game

1383
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,839
Speaker 5: seven of the East semi Finals with the Boston Celtics

1384
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 5: hosting the Philadelphia seventy six Ers. Game six of the

1385
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 5: NHL's Western Conference semi Finals Saturday night saw the Seattle

1386
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 5: kracking to beat the Dallas Stars six to three to

1387
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 5: force a Game seven. I would bet that reporters covering

1388
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 5: the NHL playoffs might be silently rooting for Seattle because

1389
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 5: during the intermissions in the Seattle press box they served sushi.

1390
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 5: That's pretty good from a media standpoint.

1391
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 2: Back to you.

1392
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 3: Guys, media sushi, Oh you know what?

1393
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:52,719
Speaker 2: Okay?

1394
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1395
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 5: On second thigh, yell me? Was it from one of

1396
01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 5: those all you can eat sushi places?

1397
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 2: Some of my favorite places in the world. That's true.

1398
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 2: Every once in a while, I'm willing to roll the dice.

1399
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 3: I covered an NBA Finals in Boston and the Celtics

1400
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 3: had lobster once really.

1401
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:14,800
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it is, I mean, probably far more

1402
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 2: affordable there than the North Marca.

1403
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 3: Actual lobster in the media dining is pretty pretty amazing.

1404
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, perhaps that's not the delicacy that its

1405
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:26,719
Speaker 2: as kids you were taught.

1406
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 3: Yes, lobster was this big, rare red lobster. My goodness, yes, I.

1407
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:34,720
Speaker 2: Think I went there maybe twice in my life. The

1408
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 2: big thing for us was, you know, and we didn't

1409
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 2: need out very often growing up, but once we did

1410
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 2: and you're into the dating years and going out, Olive

1411
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 2: Garden was a big deal. Sure in our neighborhood down

1412
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 2: by us. And let's face it, I'm a kid from

1413
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:53,560
Speaker 2: the South side of Chicago. Nobody could take down unlimited

1414
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 2: breadsticks like this kid. Give me a little bit of

1415
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 2: that marinera sauce or a little uh just that was it?

1416
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 3: Nothing wrong with that.

1417
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,800

01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:25,760

1431

01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 3: Let's get the Fox family together and play the feud

1439
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 3: as we do every Sunday morning. He's Mike Carman, Ethan Miller, Iowa,

1440
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 3: Sam Isaac Lohencron make up the Fox Family. Top ten

1441
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 3: answers on the board this Mother's Day morning, no mom theme,

1442
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 3: but we continue with the NFL schedule theme. Three strikes.

1443
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:32,520
Speaker 3: The pass is available. If you don't know it, answer,

1444
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 3: we will reveal one and you could just move along.

1445
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:37,640
Speaker 3: But once the past is used, no one else can

1446
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 3: use it, all right, I mentioned top ten answers on

1447
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 3: the board. I want to know the NFL teams who

1448
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 3: were given two or less primetime games in the NFL schedule.

1449
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 3: Two or less primetime games in the NFL schedule. Just

1450
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 3: because you play on Thanksgiving during the day doesn't mean

1451
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 3: it's primetime. That's a caveat for any of the games

1452
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 3: that may off in daylight. We're talking primetime games, Mike Carmen,

1453
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 3: we start with you. Ten NFL teams were given two

1454
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 3: or less. Who's one of them?

1455
01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 2: A couple of top picks in the draft, but no

1456
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:13,839
Speaker 2: primetime games. The Houston Texans.

1457
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 3: Show me the Houston Texans. Yeah, they got the big

1458
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 3: gooseg despite having CJ. Straud and Will Anderson being drafted

1459
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:26,639
Speaker 3: over to Ethan Miller, our executive producer. Give me the

1460
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals. Arizona Cardinals. We don't even know when Kyler

1461
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 3: Murray's going to return. Show me the Cardinals also a

1462
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 3: gouseg next to Arizona. No prime time games for the Cardinals, Iowa.

1463
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 3: Sam Let's try Jacksonville, Jacksonville. They were a playoff team.

1464
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 3: Isn't Jacksonville getting two or less? No? It is not.

1465
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:54,480
Speaker 3: That is not the case. Over to Isaac Loehenkron Jacksonville.

1466
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 3: By the way, three primetime games for twenty twenty three.

1467
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 5: Sorry Jim, but I'm gonna go with the Indianapolis Adult

1468
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 5: I mean Colts.

1469
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 3: Oh that's that's cold. Show me the Colts. I meant

1470
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,839
Speaker 3: to have a pun on cold, Isaac.

1471
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 5: I thought it was very clever.

1472
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 3: The Owen Colts is actually a zero for the number

1473
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 3: of primetime games they have in twenty twenty three. Back

1533
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 2: If moms no longer with you, our condolences are good thoughts.

1534
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 2: Try to find those happy memories, those happy spaces, those traditions,

1535
01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 2: whatever you shared, go see if you can push that forward,

1536
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 2: maybe serve in a capacity for someone today in their memory.

1537
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:48,919
Speaker 2: But certainly raising the oversized coffee cup that I forgot

1538
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 2: in the kitchen to you this morning, Mike Harmon alongside

1539
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 2: Dan Byer with you here.

1540
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of roles that moms, and you

1541
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 3: don't have to be an official mom. Mom will also

1542
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 3: be celebrated on Mother's Day. There are a lot of

1543
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:07,839
Speaker 3: motherlike figures in people's lives that can also be you know, honored,

1544
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:11,679
Speaker 3: whether it be friends or aunts, or cousins or whatever,

1545
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:13,600
Speaker 3: just people you know that come into your life. It

1546
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:16,679
Speaker 3: can also be a tough day, you know for those

1547
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:19,639
Speaker 3: that maybe you know, maybe have lost the loved one

1548
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 3: you know, maybe lost a mom you know within the

1549
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 3: last you know, those first holiday sort of things. So

1550
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 3: the thoughts with everybody on this day. I miss my mom,

1551
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 3: as you mentioned earlier in Wisconsin, yours in Florida, I

1552
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:35,280
Speaker 3: know you feel the same. So a way to celebrate,

1553
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 3: but also an emotion emotional filled day.

1554
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 2: Oh, there's no question about it. Like you think back

1555
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:43,680
Speaker 2: to all those who we were talking about gluttonizing in

1556
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,400
Speaker 2: the box of donuts that you brought in from USA Donuts.

1557
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 2: You say, we have to do the chance. And once

1558
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:51,600
Speaker 2: you get one or two of those in you and

1559
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:54,600
Speaker 2: the sugar starts coursing through. Yeah, let's go with you.

1560
01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:57,680
Speaker 3: Exactly.

1561
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:02,760
Speaker 2: It's a celebratory and certainly you know, we understand not

1562
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 2: all relationships one hundred percent in the positive. There's some trials,

1563
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:10,679
Speaker 2: tribulations in all of it, but helps you to get

1564
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 2: to the point you are today and take the positives

1565
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 2: and try to spin it forward as you go through

1566
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,720
Speaker 2: to and from services, walking the dog, going for a

1567
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 2: walk in the park, everybody out and about going to

1568
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 2: be a beautiful day here in southern California. Hope it

1569
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 2: is wherever you may be as well. I am hoping

1570
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 2: for an Amazon truck to show up at my mom

1571
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 2: and dad's place here, otherwise I'm in trouble.

1572
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 3: There will be many Amazon trucks. There's an Amazon distribution

1573
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:45,879
Speaker 3: center about a mile from my house, nice and the

1574
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 3: gas station that is closest to it at times will

1575
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 3: have as many as twelve Amazon trucks. Feeling about that

1576
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 3: at the sixteen pumps, It is absurd, It is crazy.

1577
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:01,200
Speaker 3: So if you live near in Amazon as revenue stream, Oh,

1578
01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 3: my goodness. I have a video on my phone that

1579
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 3: I can show you during the break of and I

1580
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 3: could even put it up on social media, but just

1581
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 3: at times of how crazy it can be. Just of

1582
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,879
Speaker 3: these trucks filling up Amazon everywhere.

1583
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:17,439
Speaker 2: I dig that you did, the roadside flowers, many many

1584
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 2: stores getting up bright and early here.

1585
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:23,719
Speaker 3: And now that I hear you say that, I feel

1586
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 3: a little. It's just a fact of the time that

1587
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 3: we were on. Like, so we're on the West coast,

1588
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 3: so I'm driving in and it's five point thirty in

1589
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 3: the morning.

1590
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:34,680
Speaker 2: But you're trying to be pragmatic about it too, right.

1591
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 2: It's like by the time we get out of here,

1592
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 2: traffic will have picked up, being able to get back

1593
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 2: to your house. It's also later over, yeah, and what

1594
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 2: have you, and you'll have a lesser selection. And that's true.

1595
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:51,720
Speaker 2: I mean we were watching as I sat at the

1596
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:54,600
Speaker 2: light waiting for it to turn, just off off the

1597
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:58,720
Speaker 2: freeway here by by our studios, watching the guys from

1598
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:02,639
Speaker 2: Whole Foods like racks upon racks of flowers. That's five

1599
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 2: point fifteen in the morning, readying knowing that the onslaught

1600
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 2: was going to begin. And let's face it, on the

1601
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 2: highways and buy ways of Los Angeles, and I gathered

1602
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 2: this would probably be almost any town USA on a

1603
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 2: given Sunday. You've got all sorts of merch being sold

1604
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 2: on the roadside. I could buy in a three a

1605
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,799
Speaker 2: series of three exits. I can go get teddy bears

1606
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 2: and glassware for any purpose. It's family shows who will

1607
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:35,679
Speaker 2: just nod and wink you know what that is. Teddy

1608
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 2: Bears and all that stuff. The next place we'll have

1609
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 2: assorted fruits and vegetables, and then I've got the flowery

1610
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 2: at the end. I mean I can do it. Just

1611
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 2: going down the highway, I can get whatever I need.

1612
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:49,559
Speaker 2: I don't have the meat purveyor. But if I go

1613
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 2: inwards in Inland, probably two or three blocks, I'm gonna

1614
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:55,559
Speaker 2: find someone selling me some street meat. So you know,

1615
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:57,759
Speaker 2: I can get whatever I need. You know, the bacon

1616
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 2: wrapped hot dog is ubiquitous here in the city as

1617
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:03,760
Speaker 2: you go out and about so and then if you

1618
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 2: go anywhere near and you know not to get it

1619
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,479
Speaker 2: down the deep dark paths. I mean, you go anywhere

1620
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 2: near you know where you're commemorating people's lives. I mean,

1621
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,360
Speaker 2: you've got a line of people willing to sell you anything, Yes,

1622
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 2: any type of chotschki along the way. So, however you're celebrating,

1623
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 2: commemorating brunches, lunches whatever at Swollen Dome, let's be festive

1624
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 2: here on a beautiful day. And if you've got ideas

1625
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 2: for other folks out there who may have forgotten, or

1626
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:30,880
Speaker 2: if you have a template for the card that they

1627
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:34,719
Speaker 2: should print out and give to mom, Grandma, whoever else,

1628
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 2: we'd appreciate that too, even if it's a two year

1629
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:41,599
Speaker 2: old scribble that we can't read. As Dan was alluding

1630
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 2: to a little bit earlier, we talked about the schedule

1631
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 2: and one of the last points as we finished the feud,

1632
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 2: and we failed miserably at the feud this time around,

1633
01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 2: talking a well.

1634
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,360
Speaker 3: To be honest, Mike, you did fine. It was the

1635
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 3: rest of the Fox family that I'm a little disappointed

1636
01:25:56,800 --> 01:26:00,840
Speaker 3: in today, you know, Iowa Sam, you know today in

1637
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 3: the feud, you know, like, hey.

1638
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 2: He's had a rough morning, you know. You know what,

1639
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 2: though he came in a little later as he relieved

1640
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 2: Mark to start our second hour of the program. Maybe

1641
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 2: the sugar from the donut hadn't kicked me.

1642
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 3: Maybe he got the zero for the donut because it

1643
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:18,719
Speaker 3: was like an honor of the donut that's zero zero.

1644
01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:22,679
Speaker 2: And it's funny because we started throwing out random guesses

1645
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:25,599
Speaker 2: and I had what we're about to talk about written

1646
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:28,639
Speaker 2: down and I didn't throw it out as a as

1647
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:32,759
Speaker 2: a guess is the Rams only have two primetime games

1648
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 2: for this year. A lot of questions swirling here in

1649
01:26:35,400 --> 01:26:38,840
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. It was a weird offseason. Sean McVay is

1650
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 2: he coming back? Is he not? And then he recommits

1651
01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 2: and they were like, ah, he's gonna be there for long.

1652
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no, no, no, what Once you start, it's

1653
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 2: just like a player, once you start dipping your toe

1654
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 2: into the would it could have, should have? Maybe doesn't

1655
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 2: mean he won't do a great job and that the

1656
01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 2: Rams may not achieve great heights. Again, I don't think

1657
01:26:57,120 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 2: anybody's banking on them for a giant Super Bowl run

1658
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 2: to Las Vegas. But the idea that they're just kind

1659
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 2: of kicked out of that. Whatever Matthew Stafford and his

1660
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 2: back eat of me. What's his health status? Because again,

1661
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 2: this is a guy that came into the league a

1662
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 2: long time ago, right, He's he's not a spring Chicken,

1663
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald in out, Cooper Cup coming back off injury.

1664
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,600
Speaker 2: Did they solve the running back position? Because remember you

1665
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:23,920
Speaker 2: had a guy that was about to be ousted and

1666
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:25,720
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden he catches fire down the

1667
01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:27,960
Speaker 2: stretching cam akers you got you got all of this

1668
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 2: stuff swirling, and then on the other side, you've got

1669
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:36,360
Speaker 2: the Chargers who have been This is Lucy Charlie Brown

1670
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 2: in the football I think for sports fans, fantasy fans

1671
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 2: and expectations for years, Chargers, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, you've

1672
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 2: got them, Austin Eckler, who said, my worst case scenario

1673
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 2: is like get back here. Well, if you're gonna catch

1674
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 2: one hundred and seven balls, everybody's happy. And Justin Herbert,

1675
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:57,719
Speaker 2: who everybody's expecting to break through. You bring in Kellen Moore,

1676
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 2: you change out your trainer. One of the things I

1677
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:02,640
Speaker 2: brought up a lot last year, it's like, why do

1678
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:04,320
Speaker 2: you keep harping on that. It's like they can never

1679
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:07,639
Speaker 2: stay on the field. So in theory, maybe you've got

1680
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:14,280
Speaker 2: something new that that translates into having your destined all

1681
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:17,840
Speaker 2: twenty two actually out there. But when we look at

1682
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:21,600
Speaker 2: the Charges six primetime games they're pushing all in. One

1683
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 2: of them is against the Bears. My brothers will be

1684
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 2: out here. I may or may not be inebriated before kickoff.

1685
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:29,760
Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is the expectations on

1686
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,720
Speaker 2: this squad right now huge and a big bet by

1687
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:33,200
Speaker 2: the network.

1688
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:35,920
Speaker 3: I think that there. I think that there are expectations, Mike,

1689
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:38,800
Speaker 3: But I also think that in a way, for as

1690
01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 3: good as the Chargers played at times last year, there's

1691
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:47,280
Speaker 3: also that car accident effect, Like it's it's crazy to

1692
01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 3: think that your Bears and I don't mean this disrespectfully,

1693
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:54,880
Speaker 3: but they had the number one overall pick before training

1694
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:57,880
Speaker 3: in a way, yep, worst record in the NFL. And

1695
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:01,759
Speaker 3: they're put on Sunday night against not the Green Bay Packers,

1696
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:06,760
Speaker 3: their longtime rival, but against the Chargers. And you're saying, well,

1697
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 3: you know, heck, the Chargers playing a division where honestly,

1698
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,040
Speaker 3: you could put any of those three teams against the

1699
01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:13,840
Speaker 3: Chargers and put it on a primetime night. So it

1700
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:16,120
Speaker 3: tells you something about the Chargers. But there's also the

1701
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:20,640
Speaker 3: fact of the Chargers are great drama because of the

1702
01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,200
Speaker 3: ups and the downs that you talk about and the

1703
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:26,920
Speaker 3: collapse that they had against Jacksonville and the I mean,

1704
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 3: they've played some magnificent games and then there's also been

1705
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 3: some magnificent failures at times. And when you look at

1706
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 3: the top level of teams, there were four teams in

1707
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:41,759
Speaker 3: the NFL that got six primetime games. Super Bowl champion

1708
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 3: Chiefs they were one of them, not a surprise. Dallas

1709
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:48,400
Speaker 3: Cowboys arguably the most popular team in the NFL, not

1710
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 3: a surprise. The Buffalo Bills another team Josh Allen led,

1711
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:56,200
Speaker 3: not much of a surprise. And then the Chargers were

1712
01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:58,960
Speaker 3: the other. Chargers have more primetime games than the Eagles,

1713
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:00,519
Speaker 3: who went to the Super Bowl, and who went to

1714
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:03,839
Speaker 3: the NFC Championship Game, both of the New York teams.

1715
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:07,360
Speaker 3: Like that's I mean, you want to talk about market

1716
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:09,679
Speaker 3: and you talk about LA of like who's winning LA.

1717
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:11,839
Speaker 3: You laid out a lot of the problems with the Rams,

1718
01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:16,120
Speaker 3: But doesn't this show, like the I mean, it's the

1719
01:30:16,400 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 3: highs and lows of the Chargers make them such a

1720
01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:23,920
Speaker 3: compelling story that I mean, it's crazy to think, but

1721
01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 3: they are more interesting than the Rams. When the Rams

1722
01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:30,160
Speaker 3: won a Super Bowl eighteen months ago.

1723
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think when we look at the Chargers to

1724
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:37,160
Speaker 2: the ride. The roller coaster effect of it all is

1725
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 2: that at their best, justin Herbert's a guy that can

1726
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:43,920
Speaker 2: sling it and you get excited, right, you draft another

1727
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:47,320
Speaker 2: wide receiver to kind of shore up things in Johnson,

1728
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 2: assuming Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, they're going to miss time, right,

1729
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 2: It's like what we do with the NBA at this point,

1730
01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:56,920
Speaker 2: It's like, am I getting two thirds of the games

1731
01:30:56,960 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 2: out of either of those guys? Because if I do,

1732
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:01,479
Speaker 2: I think I've got a punch chance. But also to

1733
01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 2: the point of we don't know what the ceiling is.

1734
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:10,400
Speaker 2: You know, they're chasing Kansas City right in division. We

1735
01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 2: don't know what the Broncos are going to be. We

1736
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:18,080
Speaker 2: assume the Raiders are behind them, but who knows, right,

1737
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:20,599
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the assumption if you're going to go

1738
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:23,680
Speaker 2: in and rank them right now, that's how we do

1739
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 2: something Dan and I try repeatedly. But but to the

1740
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:32,360
Speaker 2: point of the Chargers at their best, it's that intriguing

1741
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:35,600
Speaker 2: team you're leaning into because you see the potential of

1742
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:38,360
Speaker 2: what they can be and the Los Angeles market, and

1743
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:40,920
Speaker 2: you've got a quarterback who looks the part of a

1744
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:47,439
Speaker 2: Hollywood even though his personality is nowhere, and this for

1745
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:52,880
Speaker 2: the national audience justin Herbert is about as exciting as

1746
01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 2: that piece of wonderbread that you put on your table.

1747
01:31:56,640 --> 01:32:00,160
Speaker 2: There's nothing to it, it is. It is just as

1748
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 2: as bilad as gonna be. And that's the way he

1749
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:03,800
Speaker 2: likes it. Yes, he is just a guy that wants

1750
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:06,519
Speaker 2: to go play football and be left alone. And I

1751
01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:08,759
Speaker 2: applaud the hell out of him for it.

1752
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 3: To wear a different numbered practice jersey during training camp,

1753
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:14,639
Speaker 3: so like when the team takes the field, people won't

1754
01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:17,120
Speaker 3: see they'll be looking for number three. Yeah. I don't

1755
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:19,559
Speaker 3: know what he looks like. Last year we did a

1756
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:25,479
Speaker 3: broadcast out there and he snuck behind us to exit

1757
01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:29,320
Speaker 3: and go out, you know, of the of the media area. Yeah,

1758
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 3: just does you know? It's not does not love the spotlight,

1759
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 3: but they're putting the spotlight with this, and it's it

1760
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:40,720
Speaker 3: is really intriguing because this this battle for la conversation

1761
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 3: that it has gone on. I think the premise with

1762
01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:47,280
Speaker 3: the Rams were like, listen, we do have we do

1763
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:51,679
Speaker 3: have a long history prior to the Saint Louis move

1764
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 3: and if we can just cement our flag as the

1765
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:59,559
Speaker 3: winning team because the city of La loves winners. They

1766
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:03,400
Speaker 3: they absolutely love winners. It'll work out for us. But

1767
01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:08,920
Speaker 3: what is so intriguing is on how the Chargers organically

1768
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 3: and with their strengths and as you said it, their

1769
01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:16,840
Speaker 3: faults make them more compelling. Even at the Rams trying

1770
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 3: to build back up with all of their veteran players healthy.

1771
01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:23,120
Speaker 3: Who knows how long Aaron Donald's gonna play. Who knows

1772
01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:25,400
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen with Cooper Cup and Matthew Stafford. But

1773
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 3: it's the volatility of the Chargers and what could be

1774
01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 3: great greatness or what could be you know, just you know,

1775
01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:36,760
Speaker 3: some great, great theater like you had in the Jacksonville

1776
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:39,639
Speaker 3: game at the expense of the Chargers makes them one

1777
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:40,639
Speaker 3: of the mussy teams.

1778
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:44,440
Speaker 2: Well, it is the curiosity here, and obviously we're stationed

1779
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:47,320
Speaker 2: here in the Greater Los Angeles area, the Fox Sports

1780
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:50,720
Speaker 2: radio studios here for Fox Sports Sunday and DAN. To

1781
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:53,320
Speaker 2: that point, like when the Rams were on their run,

1782
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:56,680
Speaker 2: you're intrigued, But did the city jump on board. No,

1783
01:33:56,760 --> 01:33:59,680
Speaker 2: it's a Dodger town and it's a lakertown. Like right now,

1784
01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 2: things are going off the charts and the car flags

1785
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:05,799
Speaker 2: are back out as we get ready for Lakers' nuggets

1786
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:08,720
Speaker 2: as as as it is. You've got the history, you've

1787
01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:12,840
Speaker 2: got the pomp and circumstance. For the Rams, it's Matthew Stafford.

1788
01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 2: Nobody liked Matthew Stafford. He when they were winning, yeah

1789
01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 2: and out even it was, how's he gonna blow it?

1790
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 2: It's like he was in Detroit forever? Does he not

1791
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:24,000
Speaker 2: get It's like nobody ever watched the game. They just

1792
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:25,599
Speaker 2: watched the L's pile up again.

1793
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:28,600
Speaker 3: It's why don't fault the Rams for their thinking and

1794
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:30,680
Speaker 3: their process. Let's go all in because they think that

1795
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:33,439
Speaker 3: they wanted to win this again. This town loves a winner.

1796
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:35,880
Speaker 3: When the Kings won their two Stanley Cups, you know,

1797
01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 3: about a decade ago, there there was energy in this

1798
01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:42,200
Speaker 3: city for that team, not to the to the extent

1799
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 3: of when the Lakers are winning and the Dodgers are winning,

1800
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 3: but there there was something there and it just it

1801
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:50,160
Speaker 3: didn't happen. I don't know if it was COVID. I

1802
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 3: don't know if it was. Heck, the Super Bowl was

1803
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 3: in the city and it didn't carry as much of weight.

1804
01:34:57,160 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 3: And and how the Chargers, being the brand that they are,

1805
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:04,840
Speaker 3: they have a real opportunity. Listen, they Joe Burrow, we

1806
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:07,240
Speaker 3: just did a whole thing about Cincinnati. The Bengals got

1807
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:12,240
Speaker 3: four primetime games, so I mean you're just getting six.

1808
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:14,600
Speaker 3: It's pretty impressive.

1809
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:21,440
Speaker 2: What they see to get in there and sell, sell, sell, marketing, advertising, branding.

1810

1833
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:44,160
Speaker 2: we talked a lot about the NFL scheduling, so we'll

1834
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:46,559
Speaker 2: pivot here, we'll get back to it. We got a

1835
01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:49,800
Speaker 2: story involving Tom Brady coming up with you in about

1836
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:53,400
Speaker 2: twenty minutes time from now. But the NBA playoffs and

1837
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:58,640
Speaker 2: here in Los Angeles owing to the Rams and Chargers conversation,

1838
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:02,880
Speaker 2: just having Lakers now moving on to the Western Conference

1839
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:06,960
Speaker 2: Finals a great test. But I was waiting for the

1840
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:09,879
Speaker 2: Magic Johnson tweets because we do play the Magic Johnson

1841
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:13,880
Speaker 2: Twitter game on the show, often imitated, never duplicated, the

1842
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 2: vanilla tweeting of Magic Johnson. As we've celebrated it on

1843
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:20,160
Speaker 2: the program, Jason and I for years does a pretty

1844
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:24,080
Speaker 2: good job of creating some fake Is this truly a

1845
01:37:24,120 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 2: magic tweet or not? Was waiting for all the rob

1846
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:30,360
Speaker 2: Blinka love from Magic? Johnson and I say that tongue

1847
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 2: firmly planted in cheek because the ability to reform this

1848
01:37:35,360 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 2: squad at the trade deadline propels them forward. Russell Westbrook out,

1849
01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,160
Speaker 2: We've seen role players step in. A guy like Ruy

1850
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:47,320
Speaker 2: Hachimura comes in play some big minutes, D'Angelo, Russell. The

1851
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:50,760
Speaker 2: second time around? What is it? Love is lovelier the

1852
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:53,600
Speaker 2: second time around? Go back to the old standards. You

1853
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:55,360
Speaker 2: can hear Sinatra in your head. I know you can.

1854
01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 2: I know you can't. But you look at what they were.

1855
01:37:58,800 --> 01:37:59,280
Speaker 3: Able to do.

1856
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:02,400
Speaker 2: A front office that, from all reports at the beginning

1857
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:05,280
Speaker 2: of the season had basically said, Lebron, you built this,

1858
01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:08,719
Speaker 2: You're gonna suffer with it. You're gonna have to perform

1859
01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:14,400
Speaker 2: with it, and then eventually remake this squad. Things change,

1860
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:19,760
Speaker 2: Injuries have been a big part. Inconsistency, mediocrity. Dare I

1861
01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:24,479
Speaker 2: say at times, whatever Memphis became down the stretch Dylan

1862
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:28,080
Speaker 2: Brooks poking at Lebron James and then not being able

1863
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:30,720
Speaker 2: to back it with his play by any means. The

1864
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:33,800
Speaker 2: Ja Morant, We've got more on him coming up as

1865
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:36,280
Speaker 2: the show develops. But you watched all of these except

1866
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 2: for Denver still there, still plugging, and that's now who

1867
01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:42,400
Speaker 2: their opponent is going forward. But the way the ce

1868
01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 2: changes of this NBA season, it was always Lebron and Ad.

1869
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:51,439
Speaker 2: If we're still two of the top ten fifteen wherever

1870
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 2: you want to put Lebron on a day to day basis,

1871
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:57,479
Speaker 2: and Ad is healthy, you've got a puncher's chance. And

1872
01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:01,800
Speaker 2: while here they are playing good basketball, Anthony Davis has

1873
01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:05,280
Speaker 2: been in the lineup a lot of scares. You certainly

1874
01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:10,600
Speaker 2: keep an ekg reading on all fans and people associated

1875
01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:13,519
Speaker 2: with the squad. Every time he falls, every time he

1876
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:15,600
Speaker 2: goes down, there's the is he gonna get up like

1877
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 2: a prize fighter? Come on, come on? But right now

1878
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:22,920
Speaker 2: playing great basketball, inspired basketball and trying do to me.

1879
01:39:23,720 --> 01:39:28,280
Speaker 2: You know, we talked about trying to reform legacies, histories

1880
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:31,519
Speaker 2: and reputations. I think Anthony Davis is trying to do

1881
01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:33,160
Speaker 2: a little bit of that in these playoffs.

1882
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:36,880
Speaker 3: Well, I would I would say this that Lebron and

1883
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:41,080
Speaker 3: AD do get a lot of the love, deservedly so

1884
01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:45,639
Speaker 3: for what they've accomplished and specifically for what Anthony Davis

1885
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:49,240
Speaker 3: is doing in these playoffs. But I just I feel

1886
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:53,479
Speaker 3: like that they would have been the Brooklyn Nets of

1887
01:39:54,280 --> 01:39:57,879
Speaker 3: you know, last year, They would have been the Phoenix

1888
01:39:57,880 --> 01:40:01,880
Speaker 3: Suns of this year if weren't for the emergence of

1889
01:40:02,360 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves. Lonnie Walker has been I mean, just in

1890
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:10,760
Speaker 3: these last three games, I mean, it is, it is,

1891
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 3: It is amazing, and it completely changes the complexion of

1892
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 3: who the Lakers are. And even if it was just

1893
01:40:18,360 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 3: for three games, it was still pretty spectacular. D'Angelo Russell

1894
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:26,840
Speaker 3: started in my days, they're getting mixed up and what

1895
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:29,439
Speaker 3: but you know, he and Ad were carrying the team

1896
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:34,479
Speaker 3: early in game four five, So you've got you've got

1897
01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:37,200
Speaker 3: those guys stepping up in coming through and as you mentioned,

1898
01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:39,519
Speaker 3: you know the Hatchamura, who is you know, great in

1899
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:45,679
Speaker 3: the Grizzly series. All of those performances have I think

1900
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:48,599
Speaker 3: been the reason why the Lakers are in the Western

1901
01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 3: Conference Finals, for the simple fact of even if Ad

1902
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:54,599
Speaker 3: and Lebron were doing their thing, we've seen that two

1903
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:57,519
Speaker 3: guys doing it just isn't enough. Same thing with, you know,

1904
01:40:57,640 --> 01:40:59,360
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. We saw it like you

1905
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:02,680
Speaker 3: need somebody else to step up, and the Lakers have

1906
01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 3: had it, and I find it. I gosh, it's so

1907
01:41:07,600 --> 01:41:10,800
Speaker 3: difficult because when you're not a Lakers fan, they're so

1908
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:14,679
Speaker 3: easy to dislike and they're a team that people usually hate.

1909
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:20,280
Speaker 3: But to be able to have Lonnie Walker do that

1910
01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:23,200
Speaker 3: on a team where you have arguably the greatest player

1911
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:25,800
Speaker 3: to ever play the game and then another guy who's

1912
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 3: trying to cement his own legacy and to show people

1913
01:41:28,200 --> 01:41:31,680
Speaker 3: that you know, the player that he is isn't just

1914
01:41:31,720 --> 01:41:34,960
Speaker 3: an injury prone player. It's a top level trying to

1915
01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:39,040
Speaker 3: be two time NBA champion in Anthony Davis. To have

1916
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 3: Lonnie Walker just to be able to be able to

1917
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:47,080
Speaker 3: take the shots that you're taking, to have Austin Reeves

1918
01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:51,000
Speaker 3: take the shots that you're taking on that team like

1919
01:41:51,120 --> 01:41:54,320
Speaker 3: just a tempt them to be able to attempt them,

1920
01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:57,240
Speaker 3: and then now you're making them and they become like

1921
01:41:57,320 --> 01:42:00,800
Speaker 3: it is. It makes you want to root for it

1922
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:03,400
Speaker 3: because of the emergence of those other guys. And I

1923
01:42:03,439 --> 01:42:05,280
Speaker 3: don't know if it'll last against Denver. I have no

1924
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:08,840
Speaker 3: idea Mike. But it is they They've made them an

1925
01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:10,280
Speaker 3: enjoyable watch.

1926
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:13,679
Speaker 2: That is a rare, rare thing, right, because the hate

1927
01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:16,759
Speaker 2: watching of Lebron has been a real thing, and certainly

1928
01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 2: in the media. I mean, you saw how people reacted

1929
01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:22,400
Speaker 2: to Anthony Davis and the head injury. Right, you had

1930
01:42:22,479 --> 01:42:25,720
Speaker 2: laughing on TNT. They can say all they want that

1931
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:28,599
Speaker 2: they weren't someone made a joke off camera before they

1932
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:31,920
Speaker 2: came back that everybody thought was or a producer in

1933
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:34,719
Speaker 2: their ear that they thought was still funny while Kenny

1934
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 2: Smith was trying to address the ad injury. So you're

1935
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:40,439
Speaker 2: never going to convince me it wasn't about ad, sure,

1936
01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 2: unless you're gonna give me access to unaltered, un untransferred,

1937
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:52,519
Speaker 2: un edited of feed from what the producers and everybody

1938
01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:55,719
Speaker 2: on set were saying. But and then go on down

1939
01:42:55,760 --> 01:42:58,720
Speaker 2: the line, it's the here we go again, whatever else

1940
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:00,840
Speaker 2: we were on air looking at each other. You got

1941
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:03,200
Speaker 2: hit in the head, like you have no idea. Draymond

1942
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:06,080
Speaker 2: Green I thought put it most succinctly. He did his podcast.

1943
01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:09,360
Speaker 2: He goes, it's a head injury. You don't know, right?

1944
01:43:09,400 --> 01:43:11,200
Speaker 2: How many? How many times? How many times do we

1945
01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:12,760
Speaker 2: see a guy in an NFL and we see the

1946
01:43:12,840 --> 01:43:15,679
Speaker 2: hit and we're looking at each other going, oh my god.

1947
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:18,240
Speaker 2: Thirty seconds later he's up and ready to go. Yes,

1948
01:43:18,360 --> 01:43:21,160
Speaker 2: not even getting into the Tomorrow Hamblin situation with a

1949
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:24,599
Speaker 2: whole other thing. But you've got all of those. But

1950
01:43:24,640 --> 01:43:26,599
Speaker 2: then you have guys like, wow, did he really take

1951
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:30,120
Speaker 2: a hit there? What happened? Like glancing blows, you get

1952
01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:32,559
Speaker 2: hit in just the right spot and you have no

1953
01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 2: idea how it's gonna flow.

1954
01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:37,559
Speaker 3: I didn't think that Chris Haynes intended for this to happen.

1955
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 3: But we never saw a wheelchair. No, we didn't, but

1956
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 3: Chris Haynes did, and Chris Haynes reported it, and so

1957
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 3: then and Chris Hanes is not gonna lie. Sideline reporter

1958
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:49,439
Speaker 3: for TNT A Bleacher Report does a great podcast with

1959
01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:51,960
Speaker 3: Mark Stein. You can get the you know wherever you

1960
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:54,559
Speaker 3: get your podcasts, all of that. But he's the one

1961
01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:57,720
Speaker 3: that mentioned the wheelchair. It's not like Paul Pierce, where

1962
01:43:57,720 --> 01:44:00,640
Speaker 3: the cameras following ad like, we wouldn't have if the

1963
01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 3: report wasn't there, we wouldn't have known.

1964
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:05,320
Speaker 2: Right, he put in that he was wobbly and a wheelchair.

1965
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:07,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that should be serious enough. I mean, if

1966
01:44:07,439 --> 01:44:12,280
Speaker 3: you're you know, for to show you and I think

1967
01:44:12,320 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 3: that then people at issues like, well, if it was

1968
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:15,960
Speaker 3: that serious, how does he get ready to play games?

1969
01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:19,200
Speaker 2: But that's the thing, right, because I think in the

1970
01:44:19,320 --> 01:44:22,200
Speaker 2: NFL we've got protocol and we see it play out

1971
01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:27,400
Speaker 2: on the sidelines. Transparency is a dangerous word in any

1972
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:31,879
Speaker 2: of this, But for the NBA, it's behind the scenes.

1973
01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:36,520
Speaker 2: It's a longer effect, and if you go into true protocol,

1974
01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:40,679
Speaker 2: you're missing at least a week of time. So everybody

1975
01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:43,599
Speaker 2: was very careful with the way they worded thing, at

1976
01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 2: least around the Lakers and any spokespeople, to not ever

1977
01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:52,240
Speaker 2: throw that word out there because now, all right, how

1978
01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:55,680
Speaker 2: is this being applied because Anthony Davis wouldn't have been

1979
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:58,880
Speaker 2: available for game six? Game seven, Yeah, game one or

1980
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:02,280
Speaker 2: game two of a would be Western Conference final.

1981
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:08,280
Speaker 3: Do you give Lebron like there's it's funny. The response

1982
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:11,439
Speaker 3: on social media that you'll see a lot of the

1983
01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:15,160
Speaker 3: highlights from game six is the Lebron trying to be

1984
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 3: Matgic Johnson pass Lebron at his thirty in the game.

1985
01:45:20,640 --> 01:45:23,519
Speaker 3: By the way, the eleven free throw attempts that he

1986
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:27,200
Speaker 3: had in that Game six were the most that he's

1987
01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:31,320
Speaker 3: had in a game since my birthday, which is January sixteenth.

1988
01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:35,000
Speaker 2: Tells you something that on your calendar you got bothers

1989
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:36,839
Speaker 2: day today, January sixteenth.

1990
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:39,720
Speaker 3: Anyway for me to get my birthday in. But the

1991
01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:42,479
Speaker 3: point being is like there is It's not like Lebron

1992
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:47,519
Speaker 3: has changed. I felt like in game six he was like,

1993
01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:51,240
Speaker 3: all right, now it's my time to do this. And

1994
01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:54,200
Speaker 3: I think that Lebron Lebron will always you know, and

1995
01:45:54,280 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 3: Rick Bucker's been on top of this a lot. He

1996
01:45:56,600 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 3: was just watch how Lebron handles the game, and now

1997
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:01,400
Speaker 3: he handles the game. Some t can be self you know,

1998
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 3: you know, can be self gratifying for Lebron because of

1999
01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:08,679
Speaker 3: what it means for him. But it also to allow

2000
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:11,439
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis and DiAngelo Russell to get their games going

2001
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:14,080
Speaker 3: is beneficial. It's one of the problems with Dallas, like

2002
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:16,559
Speaker 3: if Luca's got thirty five in the first half, they're

2003
01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:18,240
Speaker 3: probably not going to win because nobody else is in

2004
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:18,599
Speaker 3: wed Well.

2005
01:46:18,600 --> 01:46:20,639
Speaker 2: But that's the thing, right, A lot of standing around.

2006
01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:22,840
Speaker 2: We watched it in the Jordan Eira, We've watched it

2007
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:26,759
Speaker 2: with most superstars in these NBA runs. You talk about

2008
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:31,639
Speaker 2: two men game, Phoenix, where's the third guy getting in him?

2009
01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 3: Right?

2010
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:34,760
Speaker 2: DeAndre Ayton? Sure as how wasn't the third guy when

2011
01:46:34,800 --> 01:46:37,759
Speaker 2: he was available? And who's going to be the third score?

2012
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:40,000
Speaker 2: And that's been the beauty of the Lakers, and that

2013
01:46:40,080 --> 01:46:42,240
Speaker 2: was the question coming into the playoffs. All right, you're

2014
01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:45,479
Speaker 2: now getting in You've got a d and Lebron for

2015
01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:47,240
Speaker 2: as much as they are, How are you doing this?

2016
01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:50,040
Speaker 2: And we've seen different guys step up. The Lonnie Walker

2017
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:52,080
Speaker 2: game was one of my favorite things to be on

2018
01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:53,960
Speaker 2: air for sure that we've been on air for a

2019
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:56,160
Speaker 2: lot of cool moments. Smith and I seven to eleven

2020
01:46:56,240 --> 01:46:59,400
Speaker 2: Pacific here Fox Sports Radio. Doesn't mean we get to

2021
01:46:59,439 --> 01:47:02,000
Speaker 2: go there, but we feel like we're in the mix

2022
01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:05,320
Speaker 2: and we're talking about all these things. Lonnie Walker putting

2023
01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:08,040
Speaker 2: up those fifteen in the fourth quarter. I mean to

2024
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:11,200
Speaker 2: where Ad and Lebron are doing their postgame interviews like

2025
01:47:11,240 --> 01:47:15,000
Speaker 2: it's all him and they're pointing on him doing an

2026
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:18,720
Speaker 2: interview with some affiliate, some random person that grabbed him

2027
01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:20,960
Speaker 2: for an interview, going, we don't win without this guy.

2028
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:23,880
Speaker 2: So it's cool to see him and Hatchamura and DeAngelo

2029
01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:26,760
Speaker 2: Russell when he's been available. Lebron in game six, to

2030
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:30,400
Speaker 2: your point, was all right my time, and especially getting

2031
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:33,720
Speaker 2: to the rack knowing that, and we watched Darvin Ham

2032
01:47:33,760 --> 01:47:37,559
Speaker 2: pull the strings right when we're talking about lineup substitution Shrewder.

2033
01:47:38,280 --> 01:47:40,679
Speaker 2: While he didn't have a big play in the box score,

2034
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:43,960
Speaker 2: he certainly was into Draymond Green pretty early in that game.

2035
01:47:44,680 --> 01:47:46,599
Speaker 2: It stayed in Draymond's head.

2036
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:52,120
Speaker 3: I think that there is there is a point of

2037
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:57,560
Speaker 3: with Lebron, like you, you kind of do have to

2038
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:01,000
Speaker 3: tip your cap to him that these guys have allowed

2039
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:03,320
Speaker 3: their way even though Lebron's done it. As they said,

2040
01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:06,559
Speaker 3: it's tough to take shots and in those when this

2041
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:09,599
Speaker 3: means so much to Lebron. But one other quick point,

2042
01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:11,559
Speaker 3: I know we got to get Isaac for for because

2043
01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:14,080
Speaker 3: there's something that's just happening and he's got the latest anyway,

2044
01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:19,559
Speaker 3: But the Kareem scoring title, remember so much as made

2045
01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:22,759
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis comes out. This is the response. I wonder

2046
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:24,799
Speaker 3: Mike if now that that was in their rearview mirror.

2047
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:27,320
Speaker 3: The things changed for the Lakers because it was such

2048
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:29,439
Speaker 3: a big deal. The countdown for the first half of

2049
01:48:29,439 --> 01:48:31,479
Speaker 3: the season. When is he get to break Kareem's record.

2050
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:34,280
Speaker 3: It's all about Lebron Lebron, Lebron Lebron's record. They got

2051
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:37,080
Speaker 3: off to a bad start, you know, something changed, and

2052
01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:39,120
Speaker 3: I wonder if just having that in the rearview mirror

2053
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:40,679
Speaker 3: like really helped this team.

2054
01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:43,320
Speaker 2: Which is kind of funny because when it actually happened,

2055
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:46,559
Speaker 2: seemed like most of at least Los Angeles just kind

2056
01:48:46,600 --> 01:48:49,479
Speaker 2: of shrugged yes, because the day was kind of struck.

2057
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:52,599
Speaker 2: He was he didn't even stand up, wanted no part

2058
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:54,320
Speaker 2: of it. He's Dan byro on my cardinal. Let's go

2059
01:48:54,360 --> 01:48:57,840
Speaker 2: over our guy, Isaac Lowinkron. We've got some breaking news

2060
01:48:57,840 --> 01:48:58,120
Speaker 2: on a.

2061
01:48:58,040 --> 01:49:02,960

01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 2: the draft lottery coming up this week, a lot of

2077
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:08,000
Speaker 2: expectations and anticipation, uh thereof Dan. So the league, much

2078
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:11,040
Speaker 2: like the the NFL, they they don't they don't sleep,

2079
01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:14,400
Speaker 2: and opportunities for big things. This is one of your

2080
01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:17,519
Speaker 2: up and coming players and your smack dad in the

2081
01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:24,439
Speaker 2: middle of your playoffs. And once again, you know we

2082
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 2: we use the term stupidity and dumb and I hate

2083
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:32,760
Speaker 2: to just go to the base and try to think

2084
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:36,040
Speaker 2: of myself, uh and try to try to be a

2085
01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:38,840
Speaker 2: rational guy. I don't know if there's really any other

2086
01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:39,680
Speaker 2: way to describe this.

2087
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:44,040
Speaker 3: Well, I I I will. I would say embarrassing, and

2088
01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:48,400
Speaker 3: I think it's embarrassing on the league's parts. I think

2089
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:52,320
Speaker 3: it's embarrassing on ESPN's part, broadcast partner of the league.

2090
01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:54,720
Speaker 2: Go back to that interview.

2091
01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, this it was this was let's get Jomer

2092
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:04,720
Speaker 3: through this car wash, come out the other end, so

2093
01:51:04,800 --> 01:51:06,840
Speaker 3: he is ready to be a star player in the

2094
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:12,479
Speaker 3: NBA playoffs. That's what this was. And again, the Jalen

2095
01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:18,280
Speaker 3: Rose interview was a joke. And what was the biggest

2096
01:51:18,439 --> 01:51:23,080
Speaker 3: joke about it, Mike and I said this when it happened,

2097
01:51:23,080 --> 01:51:27,320
Speaker 3: and I go back to it. That interview happened in daylight.

2098
01:51:28,120 --> 01:51:31,879
Speaker 3: And why that is such a big deal is because

2099
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:36,240
Speaker 3: John Morant met with the NBA that morning. And so

2100
01:51:37,040 --> 01:51:40,720
Speaker 3: just hours after having his meeting with the NBA on

2101
01:51:40,760 --> 01:51:44,360
Speaker 3: what his suspension would be with Adam Silver, an interview

2102
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:48,559
Speaker 3: was conducted to try to show that John Morant was

2103
01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:53,000
Speaker 3: a changed guy. Exclusive one on one interview broadcast partner.

2104
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:56,080
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, that's the absolutely doesn't have her

2105
01:51:56,080 --> 01:51:57,919
Speaker 2: couch anymore. So you couldn't go there.

2106
01:51:57,880 --> 01:52:02,640
Speaker 3: Trying trying to convince the public that John Morant was

2107
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:06,360
Speaker 3: a changed man. And hey, tune into the NBA Playoffs

2108
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:10,519
Speaker 3: on ESPN again and Jalen Rose tried to give his

2109
01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:14,160
Speaker 3: credentials of why he should be doing the interview. No,

2110
01:52:14,200 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 3: he shouldn't have been doing the interview. And now it

2111
01:52:17,120 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 3: shows exactly why there was nothing he's It was such

2112
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:23,559
Speaker 3: a joke, Mike, And it was such a concerted effort,

2113
01:52:23,640 --> 01:52:26,800
Speaker 3: in staged and propped up effort for us to just

2114
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:30,160
Speaker 3: have Jahn Morant get past this and not be a

2115
01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:33,800
Speaker 3: distraction in the NBA playoffs and to make John Morant

2116
01:52:33,880 --> 01:52:36,040
Speaker 3: one of the stars. How much was it talked about

2117
01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:38,479
Speaker 3: when they played in the series with the Lakers. Not

2118
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:40,519
Speaker 3: at all. Now, part of it is because they were

2119
01:52:40,520 --> 01:52:42,200
Speaker 3: getting their butts whacked by the Lakers.

2120
01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:44,120
Speaker 2: Well, but there were so many other things. I mean,

2121
01:52:44,120 --> 01:52:47,720
Speaker 2: once Dylan Brooks became yeah, yeah, whatever, he absolutely the

2122
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:52,920
Speaker 2: would be villain who wanted no responsibility for being signed.

2123
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:55,240
Speaker 3: Maybe they should keep Dylon Brooks because otherwise maybe they

2124
01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:58,320
Speaker 3: would have been talking about Jamran and unlessen John Morant,

2125
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:02,400
Speaker 3: you know, had He's a great player, there is no

2126
01:53:02,560 --> 01:53:05,920
Speaker 3: denying that, but they treated him with kid gloves. The

2127
01:53:05,960 --> 01:53:09,599
Speaker 3: whole farce of that therapy that that he went through

2128
01:53:09,880 --> 01:53:12,719
Speaker 3: I just thought was so condescending and it's such bad

2129
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:14,880
Speaker 3: taste towards people who actually do need help for the

2130
01:53:14,880 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 3: problems that they have to think that he could just

2131
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:19,519
Speaker 3: go to a place and spend you know, a couple

2132
01:53:19,560 --> 01:53:21,760
Speaker 3: of days there and come out on the other end,

2133
01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:24,840
Speaker 3: it's an absolute joke. This is this is why he

2134
01:53:24,880 --> 01:53:29,240
Speaker 3: should be suspended indefinitely and get some sort of significant suspension.

2135
01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:30,759
Speaker 3: I don't know what the I don't know what happens

2136
01:53:30,760 --> 01:53:33,559
Speaker 3: when you're suspended from activities when you don't play any games, Mike,

2137
01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:35,200
Speaker 3: but this, this hash just.

2138
01:53:35,200 --> 01:53:38,200
Speaker 2: Made me for a long Yeah. I mean really, I

2139
01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:40,320
Speaker 2: mean that that's really all it is is that you

2140
01:53:41,040 --> 01:53:43,679
Speaker 2: not get to wear your Memphis Grizzly team issued gear.

2141
01:53:44,120 --> 01:53:46,200
Speaker 2: I mean, this is at this point in the season

2142
01:53:46,240 --> 01:53:49,479
Speaker 2: for the Memphis Grizzlies, this isn't much of a at anything.

2143
01:53:50,560 --> 01:53:53,439
Speaker 2: You know, it will be in real order if the

2144
01:53:53,560 --> 01:53:58,479
Speaker 2: League office finds and really does a deep dive into this.

2145
01:53:58,760 --> 01:54:01,000
Speaker 2: But as we've talked about a lot, certainly Smith and

2146
01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:04,040
Speaker 2: I quite a bit on our show in the weeknights,

2147
01:54:04,360 --> 01:54:06,880
Speaker 2: is that Adam Silver, if he can push things down

2148
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:10,080
Speaker 2: the line and push it away, he will. Because this

2149
01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:13,760
Speaker 2: goes back to the broadcast partners and doing everything you

2150
01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:16,639
Speaker 2: can to push and going back to what happened early

2151
01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:20,639
Speaker 2: on with Donald Sterling. I mean that was the given

2152
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:22,720
Speaker 2: you had the players getting ready to walk out of

2153
01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:25,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs, so his hands were forced unless something like

2154
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:30,760
Speaker 2: that happens again, sponsors and dollars are gonna walk. I

2155
01:54:30,760 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 2: don't know what they do barring some massive other revelation.

2156
01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:36,200
Speaker 3: I know we have to get to Isaac, but I

2157
01:54:36,280 --> 01:54:39,880
Speaker 3: just want to say one more thing. Imagine if David

2158
01:54:39,960 --> 01:54:45,200
Speaker 3: Stern rip was still alive and commissioner. Do you think

2159
01:54:45,240 --> 01:54:48,600
Speaker 3: that John Morank goes into David Stern's office, gets that punishment,

2160
01:54:49,040 --> 01:54:51,960
Speaker 3: and now two months later we're back at start. Could

2161
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:55,840
Speaker 3: you imagine what David Stern would do? So Adam Silver

2162
01:54:55,920 --> 01:54:56,840
Speaker 3: the balls in your court.

2163
01:54:56,920 --> 01:54:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's one thing if he'd gone into

2164
01:54:59,760 --> 01:55:02,400
Speaker 2: a and they said, all right, here's here's a bit,

2165
01:55:02,480 --> 01:55:04,960
Speaker 2: and it's a continuing process. But we never got the

2166
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 2: sense of any of that. It was kind of laid

2167
01:55:07,200 --> 01:55:09,960
Speaker 2: up like, oh, I now know, like I saw the

2168
01:55:10,040 --> 01:55:13,040
Speaker 2: light just that fast. He's Dan Bayer on Mike Carman

2169
01:55:13,360 --> 01:55:15,400
Speaker 2: here at Fox Sports Sunday. Let's kick it back over

2170
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:17,760
Speaker 2: to Isaac Low and crowing for an update on what's

2171
01:55:17,800 --> 01:55:18,960
Speaker 2: trend again a sporting universe.

2172
01:55:19,040 --> 01:55:21,240
Speaker 5: A big breaking news you heard it in just minutes ago,

2173
01:55:21,360 --> 01:55:26,160
Speaker 5: the Memphis Grizzlies suspending starguard John Moran from all team

2174
01:55:26,320 --> 01:55:30,320
Speaker 5: activities pending an NBA review of a new social media

2175
01:55:30,440 --> 01:55:34,240
Speaker 5: video that went viral early this morning from an Instagram

2176
01:55:34,480 --> 01:55:37,960
Speaker 5: live stream by one of Moran's friends, in which Morant

2177
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:40,720
Speaker 5: has shown in the passenger seat of a car briefly

2178
01:55:40,920 --> 01:55:44,400
Speaker 5: brandishing what appears to be a gun. Two months ago,

2179
01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:48,080
Speaker 5: the NBA suspended Moran for eight games after he live

2180
01:55:48,120 --> 01:55:52,640
Speaker 5: streamed himself on his own Instagram account brandishing a gun

2181
01:55:52,680 --> 01:55:56,280
Speaker 5: at a Denver area gentlemen's club. Again, the Memphis Grizzlies

2182
01:55:56,280 --> 01:55:59,600
Speaker 5: have just suspended star guard John Moran from all team

2183
01:55:59,640 --> 01:56:04,680
Speaker 5: active vities pending an NBA review of a new second

2184
01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 5: social media video. And Mike and Dan, we're going to

2185
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:10,600
Speaker 5: play a quick, little prices right type game.

2186
01:56:10,680 --> 01:56:11,240
Speaker 2: Oh, let's go.

2187
01:56:11,560 --> 01:56:16,560
Speaker 5: So this has the potential obviously to literally cost John

2188
01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:20,840
Speaker 5: Morant millions and millions of dollars. Who knows the long

2189
01:56:20,920 --> 01:56:25,080
Speaker 5: term ramifications on his own career. I want both of

2190
01:56:25,120 --> 01:56:30,400
Speaker 5: you to guess how many viewers were watching this IG

2191
01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:35,440
Speaker 5: live stream at the exact moment that he brandished what

2192
01:56:35,560 --> 01:56:38,480
Speaker 5: appeared to be the gun. This is literally something that

2193
01:56:38,480 --> 01:56:40,840
Speaker 5: could cost him millions. I want you to guess how

2194
01:56:40,880 --> 01:56:44,200
Speaker 5: many viewers were watching the live IG video at the time.

2195
01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:45,640
Speaker 3: I'm going to say fourteen.

2196
01:56:45,320 --> 01:56:48,800
Speaker 5: Hundred, fourteen hundred Dan Byer, Mike Harmon, I'll take the

2197
01:56:48,920 --> 01:56:50,840
Speaker 5: under I'm going to say about one hundred and fifty

2198
01:56:51,920 --> 01:56:57,560
Speaker 5: Mike Harmon. Mike Harmon, you are very very on top

2199
01:56:57,640 --> 01:57:01,120
Speaker 5: of this one hundred and a eleven viewers.

2200
01:57:01,200 --> 01:57:03,960
Speaker 3: Well, that's because it was at underscore D tap two right,

2201
01:57:04,160 --> 01:57:06,360
Speaker 3: not on John Morant's actual Yes.

2202
01:57:06,680 --> 01:57:09,520
Speaker 5: Yes, and it's only d tap two because Dan Byer

2203
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:12,160
Speaker 5: already took the user name DTaP one.

2204
01:57:12,280 --> 01:57:14,360
Speaker 2: So hey, now you've been tied to this. I know

2205
01:57:14,440 --> 01:57:15,800
Speaker 2: I want that D tap two.

2206
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:19,600
Speaker 3: He just had to put the underscore. Early bird gets

2207
01:57:19,640 --> 01:57:20,000
Speaker 3: the worm.

2208
01:57:20,320 --> 01:57:23,160
Speaker 5: So can you imagine something that literally costs hundreds of

2209
01:57:23,200 --> 01:57:25,680
Speaker 5: millions of dollars, something that was watched by a wapping

2210
01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:29,920
Speaker 5: one hundred and eleven people on IG Live elsewhere. On

2211
01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:33,000
Speaker 5: Saturday night, the Phoenix Suns fired head coach Monty Williams

2212
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:35,960
Speaker 5: after four seasons. Coming up today at three thirty Eastern

2213
01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:39,000
Speaker 5: Game seven of the Eastern Conference semi Finals, the Celtics

2214
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:42,720
Speaker 5: hosting the Sixers. NFL media reporting the Dolphins signing former

2215
01:57:42,760 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 5: Patriots offensive tackle Isaiah Win to a one year deal.

2216
01:57:46,280 --> 01:57:49,280
Speaker 5: And we've got one major League Baseball game underway right

2217
01:57:49,320 --> 01:57:52,200
Speaker 5: now in Cleveland, Guardians and Angels scoreless in the bottom

2218
01:57:52,200 --> 01:57:54,080
Speaker 5: of the first Fellas.

2219
01:57:54,080 --> 01:57:56,680
Speaker 2: Thank you, Isaac. We're coming to you live from the

2222
01:58:02,920 --> 01:58:05,880
Speaker 2: talk about Washington maybe next hour. But how about Las

2223
01:58:05,960 --> 01:58:07,840
Speaker 2: Vegas and a guy does he have to get the

2224
01:58:07,840 --> 01:58:10,640
Speaker 2: bowl cut? We'll ask that question and so much more

2225
01:58:10,680 --> 01:58:13,920
Speaker 2: next here on Fox literally dancing in the studios. Happy

2233
01:58:39,360 --> 01:58:42,560
Speaker 2: town match in the Eastern Conference. Not only do they

2234
01:58:42,560 --> 01:58:46,080
Speaker 2: go home for the summer, but hey, maybe some bigger ramifications.

2235
01:58:46,280 --> 01:58:49,160
Speaker 2: As we've seen the wheel of destiny come up for

2236
01:58:49,320 --> 01:58:52,560
Speaker 2: NBA coaches. The fickle hand of feet as it were,

2237
01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:57,360
Speaker 2: for some, even though they have recent awards added to

2238
01:58:57,400 --> 01:59:00,920
Speaker 2: their mantles. But in the NFL guy that I think

2239
01:59:00,920 --> 01:59:04,880
Speaker 2: we now agree he's probably retired. Big ceremony planned in

2240
01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:10,600
Speaker 2: Foxborough and un likely a statue and everything for Tom Brady.

2241
01:59:11,560 --> 01:59:13,960
Speaker 2: But now a report comes through and once upon a

2242
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 2: Tom tied to the Las Vegas Raiders as a potential

2243
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:22,160
Speaker 2: future quarterback. Well now he's a potential minority owner, already

2244
01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:25,560
Speaker 2: has a piece of the Las Vegas aces of the WNBA,

2245
01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:31,480
Speaker 2: and now potentially joining the ownership of the Raiders. We've

2246
01:59:31,560 --> 01:59:35,520
Speaker 2: seen the Washington Commanders sell for six billion dollars, so

2247
01:59:35,640 --> 01:59:38,200
Speaker 2: try to figure out what the valuation is on the

2248
01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:41,560
Speaker 2: Raiders at this point. So whatever stake he's coming in,

2249
01:59:41,880 --> 01:59:44,480
Speaker 2: we're talking about dollars and cents, and outside of an

2250
01:59:44,600 --> 01:59:48,440
Speaker 2: FTX lawsuit, certainly plenty in the coffers for Tom Brady.

2251
01:59:48,680 --> 01:59:50,600
Speaker 2: But the question of whether he'd be paying it all.

2252
01:59:50,840 --> 01:59:52,880
Speaker 2: But the Raiders pay him to come on in and

2253
01:59:53,200 --> 01:59:54,520
Speaker 2: be a brand ambassador.

2254
01:59:54,560 --> 01:59:56,800
Speaker 3: Don't you think that maybe Tom Brady's that last thing

2255
01:59:56,880 --> 01:59:59,400
Speaker 3: to do is to take a job away from Jimmy Garoppolo,

2256
01:59:59,480 --> 02:00:02,120
Speaker 3: since that that's what kind of Jimmy Garoppolo was drafted

2257
02:00:02,120 --> 02:00:03,920
Speaker 3: to do is to take away Tom Brady's job, and

2258
02:00:03,960 --> 02:00:04,760
Speaker 3: it just never happened.

2259
02:00:04,800 --> 02:00:07,200
Speaker 2: You're just a quarterback. But guess what, I'm.

2260
02:00:07,080 --> 02:00:10,840
Speaker 3: Part of it. Maybe he'll maybe he'll insert himself. I

2261
02:00:10,920 --> 02:00:14,800
Speaker 3: did feel the whole Patriots aspect, since you mentioned it,

2262
02:00:15,520 --> 02:00:18,000
Speaker 3: I think it's twofold number one. I think because Bob

2263
02:00:18,080 --> 02:00:19,720
Speaker 3: Craft is so in love with Tom Brady that he

2264
02:00:19,760 --> 02:00:22,880
Speaker 3: just couldn't wait to honor him. Sure, but it's also

2265
02:00:22,960 --> 02:00:25,040
Speaker 3: the fact of, like you kind of want to cement

2266
02:00:25,160 --> 02:00:27,920
Speaker 3: Brady being retired, and it may be a little bit

2267
02:00:27,920 --> 02:00:30,320
Speaker 3: more difficult for Brady to have second thoughts and want

2268
02:00:30,360 --> 02:00:33,280
Speaker 3: to play if they're honoring him in week one and

2269
02:00:33,440 --> 02:00:35,320
Speaker 3: you know, just to make sure that he doesn't come back.

2270
02:00:35,280 --> 02:00:39,240
Speaker 2: Later in this there is in Miami Friday.

2271
02:00:39,360 --> 02:00:41,480
Speaker 3: Yes, Like so, I think like Bob Craft had those

2272
02:00:41,560 --> 02:00:43,960
Speaker 3: like ulterior motives, but I think this is the biggest

2273
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:48,120
Speaker 3: sign that, yeah, it is. Obviously Tom Brady now was

2274
02:00:48,160 --> 02:00:52,360
Speaker 3: looking past the playing career, and heck, what better place

2275
02:00:52,480 --> 02:00:55,240
Speaker 3: to do it in Las Vegas since everybody just you know,

2276
02:00:55,320 --> 02:00:58,280
Speaker 3: expects Las Vegas to be the sports capital of the country.

2277
02:00:58,680 --> 02:01:00,720
Speaker 3: You know, within the next ten years.

2278
02:01:00,320 --> 02:01:02,520
Speaker 2: So you can't wait to go there for a week

2279
02:01:02,560 --> 02:01:06,400
Speaker 2: in February. I'll tell you what, man boy, you want

2280
02:01:06,400 --> 02:01:09,240
Speaker 2: to talk about some really rough looking media members of

2281
02:01:09,280 --> 02:01:11,280
Speaker 2: the course of the week, I mean they find a

2282
02:01:11,360 --> 02:01:13,440
Speaker 2: way so that actual yeah, they get find a way

2283
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:15,600
Speaker 2: to get after it, and all these other cities wait

2284
02:01:15,640 --> 02:01:18,560

Speaker 2: we celebrate all the moms and mom figures in our life.

2295
02:01:56,400 --> 02:02:00,320
Speaker 2: Obviously I celebrate my ex wife giving me my my

2296
02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:03,240
Speaker 2: two daughters that I'll be tormenting later on today. I

2297
02:02:03,280 --> 02:02:06,760
Speaker 2: figure I'll end up on a soccer field at some point,

2298
02:02:06,800 --> 02:02:09,280
Speaker 2: and I think I have a date with Guardians at

2299
02:02:09,280 --> 02:02:12,760
Speaker 2: the Galaxy at some point and maybe a Chicago style

2300
02:02:12,920 --> 02:02:17,040
Speaker 2: hot dog. However, y'all are out. Yeah, little Portillo's run

2301
02:02:17,040 --> 02:02:18,520
Speaker 2: I think is in the office. It's been a couple

2302
02:02:18,560 --> 02:02:21,880
Speaker 2: of weeks since a big sing along and we got

2303
02:02:21,880 --> 02:02:25,320
Speaker 2: to test my Taylor swift lyric knowledge on a Sunday.

2304
02:02:25,400 --> 02:02:28,760
Speaker 2: But so everybody heading out, I mean already it's East coast.

2305
02:02:28,760 --> 02:02:32,200
Speaker 2: You may be the third mimosa in on a brunch

2306
02:02:32,320 --> 02:02:35,200
Speaker 2: on the East Coast, maybe third momosa in here on

2307
02:02:35,240 --> 02:02:38,720
Speaker 2: the West Coast at nine am, two from services. However,

2308
02:02:38,760 --> 02:02:43,960
Speaker 2: you're going to celebrate Mom's Day for those here, those

2309
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:48,000
Speaker 2: here in spirit, we send our best up to you

2310
02:02:48,480 --> 02:02:52,280
Speaker 2: moms in Wisconsin, for you Dan mine in in Florida,

2311
02:02:52,280 --> 02:02:55,040
Speaker 2: and I think both kind of enjoying a little peace

2312
02:02:55,040 --> 02:02:57,800
Speaker 2: and quiet for yours, probably still tired from chasing your son.

2313
02:02:59,120 --> 02:03:02,480
Speaker 3: Yes, my mom will go to UH to my sisters

2314
02:03:02,520 --> 02:03:07,000
Speaker 3: today and UH spend that UH with her and her family.

2315
02:03:07,080 --> 02:03:09,720
Speaker 3: So happy your Mother's Day to my mom, my sister,

2316
02:03:09,760 --> 02:03:12,080
Speaker 3: and obviously to my wife. And we will be doing

2317
02:03:12,120 --> 02:03:16,200
Speaker 3: stuff to UH today to commemorate, and hopefully we will

2318
02:03:16,240 --> 02:03:20,720
Speaker 3: commemorate with either some mozzarella sticks or Buffalo wake. So yeah,

2319
02:03:20,760 --> 02:03:25,520
Speaker 3: that's it. No, well, we'll have to figure I'll tell

2320
02:03:25,560 --> 02:03:29,600
Speaker 3: you. You know, cheese curds. Have you know? They they burst

2321
02:03:29,600 --> 02:03:31,760
Speaker 3: out of this to the scene. They've been in Wisconsin,

2322
02:03:31,800 --> 02:03:34,760
Speaker 3: staple ever since I was born. I don't remember. I

2323
02:03:34,800 --> 02:03:36,600
Speaker 3: don't know a life without cheese curds, Mike.

2324
02:03:37,040 --> 02:03:40,360
Speaker 2: But would you ever want to know what they are?

2325
02:03:40,640 --> 02:03:42,960
Speaker 3: And that was one of the adjustments living in California.

2326
02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:46,560
Speaker 3: They're just they're not out here. But now now like

2327
02:03:46,920 --> 02:03:49,839
Speaker 3: they burst onto the scene enough where there are places

2328
02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:53,760
Speaker 3: that do carry the product. Buffalo Wild Wings, for example,

2329
02:03:54,200 --> 02:03:57,839
Speaker 3: does have them. Chili's for a while had them no longer.

2330
02:03:58,280 --> 02:04:01,360
Speaker 3: Chili is also taking off the general chicken crispers from

2331
02:04:01,400 --> 02:04:04,440
Speaker 3: their menu, which was such a such a bad choice.

2332
02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:07,160
Speaker 3: Those those things are are legends.

2333
02:04:07,400 --> 02:04:11,120
Speaker 2: But this week in Culinary Delights brought to you by Dan.

2334
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:15,200
Speaker 3: By, I just feel like the Nashville chicken craze has

2335
02:04:15,560 --> 02:04:19,360
Speaker 3: had such a boom, the hot chicken from Nashville, that's.

2336
02:04:19,240 --> 02:04:21,440
Speaker 2: Starting to dissipate though right a little bit.

2337
02:04:23,160 --> 02:04:26,440
Speaker 3: I think that we could get to a saturation point. Okay,

2338
02:04:26,720 --> 02:04:28,680
Speaker 3: but heck, there's just one that opened down the street,

2339
02:04:28,720 --> 02:04:31,600
Speaker 3: and there's I mean everywhere, but I just feel like

2340
02:04:31,640 --> 02:04:35,160
Speaker 3: there's like that's kind of the route that Cheese Kurts

2341
02:04:35,160 --> 02:04:37,520
Speaker 3: took just never got to the height of the hot chicken.

2342
02:04:37,560 --> 02:04:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm gonna zag. I think you can also

2343
02:04:39,400 --> 02:04:42,200
Speaker 2: have one of those all you can eat sushi buffets.

2344
02:04:42,960 --> 02:04:45,240
Speaker 2: You got to listen to the whole show here on

2345
02:04:45,280 --> 02:04:48,200
Speaker 2: a Sunday morning we could.

2346
02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:51,160
Speaker 3: Go to was a Mariner's game. Who was it who

2347
02:04:51,160 --> 02:04:54,600
Speaker 3: had the sushi? And cracking, cracking, cracking, yeah, cracking.

2348
02:04:54,920 --> 02:04:57,280
Speaker 2: There's not rock, you know. I like the one where

2349
02:04:57,280 --> 02:05:00,440
Speaker 2: they have the sushi boats that passed by. You decide

2350
02:05:00,440 --> 02:05:02,880
Speaker 2: whether you want in on the thing as it goes through.

2351
02:05:03,080 --> 02:05:05,880
Speaker 2: It's not a conveyor belt, and it passes so there's

2352
02:05:06,080 --> 02:05:09,400
Speaker 2: constantly fresh stuff floating through different price points.

2353
02:05:09,960 --> 02:05:14,800
Speaker 3: Sushi is not necessarily my game, So when we get sushi,

2354
02:05:14,920 --> 02:05:18,680
Speaker 3: I just go with the chicken kariaki, just plain chicken.

2355
02:05:18,720 --> 02:05:21,680
Speaker 2: In Terio, my older daughter is a is down the

2356
02:05:21,680 --> 02:05:25,360
Speaker 2: same road. They do a nice chicken KARAOKEI roll at

2357
02:05:25,400 --> 02:05:27,920
Speaker 2: a lot of places these days, so you can pretend

2358
02:05:27,960 --> 02:05:31,960
Speaker 2: you're having sushi when it's actually just chicken KARAOKEI in Rice,

2359
02:05:32,280 --> 02:05:35,000
Speaker 2: in Rice and in a role for him. See there

2360
02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:37,880
Speaker 2: you have it. As we float through at Dan Byron Fox,

2361
02:05:37,920 --> 02:05:40,560
Speaker 2: we find Dan, Find Me over at Swollen Dome. Following

2362
02:05:40,560 --> 02:05:43,200
Speaker 2: the Ja Moran story, you've heard it in Isaac's Updates.

2363
02:05:43,200 --> 02:05:45,800
Speaker 2: We talked about it in Earnest a little bit earlier

2364
02:05:45,840 --> 02:05:50,880
Speaker 2: in the program, going deep dive into the failures of

2365
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:55,080
Speaker 2: the the NBA in trying to clean up what was

2366
02:05:55,880 --> 02:06:01,880
Speaker 2: underneath a big controversy topic for an up, up and

2367
02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:08,040
Speaker 2: coming star and problematic series of events and quint occurrences,

2368
02:06:08,080 --> 02:06:11,280
Speaker 2: not coincidences, but all of its surfaces at the same time,

2369
02:06:11,320 --> 02:06:14,640
Speaker 2: even though you had incidences months apart, it all became

2370
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:18,400
Speaker 2: came to light and just as quickly was tried to

2371
02:06:18,640 --> 02:06:21,600
Speaker 2: They tried to brush it off as if it was

2372
02:06:21,680 --> 02:06:24,400
Speaker 2: going to go away, and you know, scouts on her

2373
02:06:24,720 --> 02:06:28,920
Speaker 2: I promised this in a league office. Was seemingly all

2374
02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:31,880
Speaker 2: it took to push it on. And for John Moran's part,

2375
02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:35,440
Speaker 2: going into the off season, the hope was that there

2376
02:06:35,480 --> 02:06:39,640
Speaker 2: was some recognition. Again, you brought up the fact the

2377
02:06:39,720 --> 02:06:43,520
Speaker 2: Jalen Rose interview and everything Dan, I go to his

2378
02:06:44,160 --> 02:06:46,680
Speaker 2: exiting and saying, hey, a lot of that that's on

2379
02:06:46,800 --> 02:06:49,600
Speaker 2: me and I got to be better. So the hope

2380
02:06:49,640 --> 02:06:52,840
Speaker 2: was you would propel yourself going forward that you were

2381
02:06:52,840 --> 02:06:55,200
Speaker 2: going to be better, not that you necessarily had a

2382
02:06:55,240 --> 02:06:57,760
Speaker 2: big breakthrough in a day and a half of a

2383
02:06:58,320 --> 02:07:00,840
Speaker 2: retreat or whatever the case made be, but that you

2384
02:07:01,000 --> 02:07:04,560
Speaker 2: recognize that there was a problem and that your team's

2385
02:07:04,680 --> 02:07:08,960
Speaker 2: success this year and lack of cohesion. As much as

2386
02:07:09,000 --> 02:07:10,600
Speaker 2: you could say, hey, we didn't have a big guy

2387
02:07:10,600 --> 02:07:12,880
Speaker 2: in Steven Adams to help be there, you didn't have

2388
02:07:12,920 --> 02:07:15,200
Speaker 2: a lot of veteran leadership in that locker room either,

2389
02:07:15,560 --> 02:07:18,400
Speaker 2: and trying to at least take him at his word

2390
02:07:18,520 --> 02:07:21,320
Speaker 2: in the moment of okay, he's going into an offseason

2391
02:07:21,320 --> 02:07:24,920
Speaker 2: that he recognizes a big deal because that incident and

2392
02:07:24,960 --> 02:07:29,920
Speaker 2: that suspension probably cost him all all NBA votes as well. Right, Yeah,

2393
02:07:30,400 --> 02:07:33,200
Speaker 2: And that, as we know, and it's the dopiest thing

2394
02:07:33,280 --> 02:07:38,040
Speaker 2: in sports, is tied to tens of millions of dollars

2395
02:07:38,400 --> 02:07:42,080
Speaker 2: in terms of future contracts having been a member of

2396
02:07:42,120 --> 02:07:45,120
Speaker 2: one of those teams. So you're talking about something that

2397
02:07:45,360 --> 02:07:48,200
Speaker 2: can cost you, even in that respect, a lot of money,

2398
02:07:48,280 --> 02:07:53,120
Speaker 2: let alone continuing down this path with future incidents, what

2399
02:07:53,160 --> 02:07:57,360
Speaker 2: it could mean for your career. Let alone, your life, incarceration, etc.

2400
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:01,400
Speaker 2: So when he left and joke around with Laker fans

2401
02:08:01,440 --> 02:08:04,520
Speaker 2: and Nana Nana, Hey, hey, goodbye, and seem like he

2402
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:07,560
Speaker 2: put it on them, like all right, young guy, give

2403
02:08:07,600 --> 02:08:09,600
Speaker 2: you the benefit of doubt. You did some stupid things.

2404
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:12,680
Speaker 2: You move forward, not that it's solved, but that you

2405
02:08:12,720 --> 02:08:15,080
Speaker 2: were going to actively work on it. What did it take?

2406
02:08:15,320 --> 02:08:18,560
Speaker 2: Three weeks? Two weeks and here we are again.

2407
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:22,600
Speaker 3: It is. And the amazing part about it, Mike is

2408
02:08:24,160 --> 02:08:27,040
Speaker 3: I'm I'm really trying to understand that there is some

2409
02:08:27,160 --> 02:08:31,320
Speaker 3: question and just be candid. You know, there's there are

2410
02:08:31,800 --> 02:08:35,200
Speaker 3: some thoughts that John mayhe have a problem with alcohol.

2411
02:08:35,840 --> 02:08:39,960
Speaker 7: Yes, that has been broached and and and you know,

2412
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:43,560
Speaker 7: you hope that that someone gets better from that, and

2413
02:08:43,600 --> 02:08:45,879
Speaker 7: someone who you know does battle alcohol.

2414
02:08:45,960 --> 02:08:48,240
Speaker 3: The last thing that you want to see is them

2415
02:08:48,240 --> 02:08:51,480
Speaker 3: with a drink in their hand, right and trying to

2416
02:08:51,880 --> 02:08:55,400
Speaker 3: you know, trying to portray this in in the exact

2417
02:08:55,440 --> 02:08:59,560
Speaker 3: way with you know, empathy towards those that have to

2418
02:08:59,760 --> 02:09:01,480
Speaker 3: you know, deal with this and family members that have

2419
02:09:01,520 --> 02:09:04,480
Speaker 3: to deal with those, you know, people who have those illnesses.

2420
02:09:04,520 --> 02:09:07,480
Speaker 3: It's a really really tough spot, uh that that's tough

2421
02:09:07,480 --> 02:09:10,040
Speaker 3: to that would be tough to see. Oh oh, geez,

2422
02:09:10,200 --> 02:09:12,920
Speaker 3: so and so had a drink. Unfortunately they're not sober anymore.

2423
02:09:12,960 --> 02:09:16,240
Speaker 3: That's tough to take. This situation is so weird, Mike,

2424
02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:22,920
Speaker 3: because John Morant was reportedly flashing a gun at a

2425
02:09:22,920 --> 02:09:25,960
Speaker 3: at a bunch of kids when they're playing pickup basketball

2426
02:09:26,440 --> 02:09:29,520
Speaker 3: because he was mad that the kid, uh and how

2427
02:09:29,520 --> 02:09:31,960
Speaker 3: they checked up the basketball and then they got into it.

2428
02:09:32,160 --> 02:09:35,520
Speaker 3: So Joh comes out and apparently is flashing his gun.

2429
02:09:36,080 --> 02:09:39,360
Speaker 3: He then flashes his gun at a strip club where

2430
02:09:39,360 --> 02:09:42,480
Speaker 3: he gets investigated by authorities in Colorado because they want

2431
02:09:42,520 --> 02:09:44,240
Speaker 3: to say, like, hey, you you know, if you're in

2432
02:09:44,280 --> 02:09:47,240
Speaker 3: possession of a firearm, you're under the influence. You know,

2433
02:09:47,280 --> 02:09:50,000
Speaker 3: there could be something there. In the end, no chargers

2434
02:09:50,040 --> 02:09:51,120
Speaker 3: were filed at all.

2435
02:09:53,280 --> 02:09:54,000
Speaker 2: With the Pacers.

2436
02:09:54,480 --> 02:09:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the incident with the Pacers the red light, Yeah yeah,

2437
02:09:58,600 --> 02:10:02,760
Speaker 3: and and not we're flashing a gun again, Like what

2438
02:10:03,920 --> 02:10:06,600
Speaker 3: Like there's I get people have like vices that are

2439
02:10:06,640 --> 02:10:10,240
Speaker 3: tough to overcome, but this is just darn stupidity, Mike,

2440
02:10:10,440 --> 02:10:15,840
Speaker 3: Like I don't I don't understand like just the action.

2441
02:10:16,960 --> 02:10:21,400
Speaker 3: I'll perfect example. A month ago on Fox Sports Radio,

2442
02:10:22,080 --> 02:10:25,680
Speaker 3: I was sitting in for uh in the afternoons. Can't

2443
02:10:25,680 --> 02:10:27,680
Speaker 3: remember if Doug was out or for comno and urches up.

2444
02:10:27,720 --> 02:10:30,320
Speaker 3: But it's me and Ryan Hollins right before the NBA

2445
02:10:30,360 --> 02:10:36,360
Speaker 3: playoffs began, and did this NBA preview thing where Monte Milagnos,

2446
02:10:36,400 --> 02:10:38,760
Speaker 3: our anchor, was going to try to guess what Ryan

2447
02:10:38,800 --> 02:10:41,440
Speaker 3: Hollins was going to answer to these questions. And I

2448
02:10:41,480 --> 02:10:45,360
Speaker 3: made up a fake joke question saying like, will John

2449
02:10:45,400 --> 02:10:49,360
Speaker 3: Morant flash a gun at any point during these NBA playoffs?

2450
02:10:49,400 --> 02:10:51,600
Speaker 3: Kind of like he's not stupid enough to do that again,

2451
02:10:52,680 --> 02:10:55,720
Speaker 3: And here it is. I know his team's not playing,

2452
02:10:55,920 --> 02:11:00,240
Speaker 3: but we're still in the NBA playoffs. Yeah, and he's like,

2453
02:11:00,800 --> 02:11:03,920
Speaker 3: of all the things you could do, of all the

2454
02:11:03,960 --> 02:11:06,960
Speaker 3: things if he was caught speeding going at a high

2455
02:11:07,040 --> 02:11:13,080
Speaker 3: rate of speed, maybe a little leeway, maybe at best

2456
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:17,280
Speaker 3: a slight bit, you know, ran a stoplight, did something

2457
02:11:17,360 --> 02:11:21,560
Speaker 3: like that where it's just like, okay, traffic infraction. But

2458
02:11:21,640 --> 02:11:23,760
Speaker 3: to do the exact same thing that you were told

2459
02:11:23,800 --> 02:11:27,400
Speaker 3: to not do like that, you would have thought the

2460
02:11:27,520 --> 02:11:29,480
Speaker 3: gravity the right of the world.

2461
02:11:29,920 --> 02:11:33,360
Speaker 2: Yes, what would have come down on you, all the press,

2462
02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:37,080
Speaker 2: all of you, the people around you, the league office

2463
02:11:37,520 --> 02:11:42,920
Speaker 2: and every your teammates, your coaches, and everybody impressed upon you,

2464
02:11:43,040 --> 02:11:50,800
Speaker 2: how important, how how very disconcerting and concerned they were

2465
02:11:51,120 --> 02:11:53,680
Speaker 2: for you. And here we are.

2466
02:11:53,600 --> 02:11:57,280
Speaker 3: Again, and and you know, aside for the fact because

2467
02:11:57,280 --> 02:11:59,200
Speaker 3: we touched on it a lot of I just felt

2468
02:11:59,200 --> 02:12:02,360
Speaker 3: people handled them with kid gloves. Yep. My two year

2469
02:12:02,400 --> 02:12:06,400
Speaker 3: old son cannot stop picking the petals off the flowers,

2470
02:12:07,240 --> 02:12:11,720
Speaker 3: like the part that blooms, not the leaves, the petals

2471
02:12:11,720 --> 02:12:15,400
Speaker 3: of the flowers. So nice little pot of flowers in

2472
02:12:15,480 --> 02:12:19,960
Speaker 3: the backyard, flowers bloom, half of it's green because they've

2473
02:12:20,000 --> 02:12:22,720
Speaker 3: all been picked off. Told him time and time again.

2474
02:12:22,800 --> 02:12:25,000
Speaker 3: He's too he doesn't understand. He just goes back and

2475
02:12:25,040 --> 02:12:30,080
Speaker 3: does it. Ja Moran is twenty shot. What's that? Ja

2476
02:12:30,160 --> 02:12:34,240
Speaker 3: Moran is twenty three years old and he's continually picking

2477
02:12:34,240 --> 02:12:38,080
Speaker 3: these petals off these flowers. Yeah, like like like that.

2478
02:12:38,080 --> 02:12:41,240
Speaker 3: That's that is where we are with this, and it's

2479
02:12:41,360 --> 02:12:45,760
Speaker 3: just it is, it is so frustrating, and I just

2480
02:12:45,880 --> 02:12:48,040
Speaker 3: I go back again. I think that the NBA is

2481
02:12:48,080 --> 02:12:50,240
Speaker 3: to blame for some of this. I believe ESPN is

2482
02:12:50,680 --> 02:12:53,360
Speaker 3: to blame for some of this. But saying all of that,

2483
02:12:53,560 --> 02:12:57,360
Speaker 3: it does, you know, fall completely on the shoulders of

2484
02:12:57,440 --> 02:12:59,680
Speaker 3: John Moran. I think others have allowed this to happen

2485
02:13:00,560 --> 02:13:03,360
Speaker 3: and said that, you know, the other stuff's not so bad,

2486
02:13:03,440 --> 02:13:07,480
Speaker 3: so you can deal with this, like, come on, it's

2487
02:13:07,560 --> 02:13:13,160
Speaker 3: just for one of the superstars. I mean, I'm I

2488
02:13:13,160 --> 02:13:15,240
Speaker 3: thought it was almost an open and shutcase that John

2489
02:13:15,240 --> 02:13:17,720
Speaker 3: Morant was gonna have a better career than Zion. Okay,

2490
02:13:17,920 --> 02:13:22,360
Speaker 3: and so far he has, but I mean this, you know,

2491
02:13:22,360 --> 02:13:24,400
Speaker 3: we have questions about Zion's you know, weight and his

2492
02:13:24,480 --> 02:13:26,680
Speaker 3: health and moving forward. I have a lot of questions

2493
02:13:26,720 --> 02:13:28,280
Speaker 3: about John Morant's future right now.

2494
02:13:28,360 --> 02:13:31,160
Speaker 2: Well, no, one hundred percent, right because when we talk

2495
02:13:31,240 --> 02:13:36,480
Speaker 2: about these incidences while they're isolated in IG live of

2496
02:13:36,520 --> 02:13:38,680
Speaker 2: this guy that decides to go forward, and we talked

2497
02:13:38,720 --> 02:13:41,680
Speaker 2: about it with Isaac earlier, one hundred and eleven people

2498
02:13:42,040 --> 02:13:45,800
Speaker 2: were on during the live stream, and now we're talking

2499
02:13:45,840 --> 02:13:50,120
Speaker 2: about tens of millions of dollars lives affected, and certainly

2500
02:13:50,160 --> 02:13:53,720
Speaker 2: for John Morant, another inquiry into what he's doing off

2501
02:13:53,840 --> 02:13:57,160
Speaker 2: the court. And you played with kid gloves, as you

2502
02:13:57,280 --> 02:14:00,680
Speaker 2: said before, I mean a very short egg it from

2503
02:14:00,760 --> 02:14:04,680
Speaker 2: the Memphis Grizzly season and then back in seemingly to

2504
02:14:04,760 --> 02:14:08,000
Speaker 2: make a playoff run, but obviously not all right. Behind

2505
02:14:08,040 --> 02:14:12,280
Speaker 2: the scenes. Whatever Dylan Brooks was is and and continues

2506
02:14:12,320 --> 02:14:14,200
Speaker 2: to be the fake tough guy world that we have

2507
02:14:14,320 --> 02:14:18,520
Speaker 2: with a lot of NBA. It's only fitting because that's

2508
02:14:18,600 --> 02:14:22,080
Speaker 2: the image that's been portrayed a jaw in a lot

2509
02:14:22,120 --> 02:14:26,760
Speaker 2: of this. But now your legacy is becoming your head's

2510
02:14:27,240 --> 02:14:32,800
Speaker 2: put over Schwarzenegger and Commando or Keanu Reeves's John Wick.

2511
02:14:34,520 --> 02:14:37,560
Speaker 2: I mean, how many times have you seen the jaw

2512
02:14:37,720 --> 02:14:40,520
Speaker 2: wick Yeah, gift come rolling your time?

2513
02:14:40,680 --> 02:14:43,800
Speaker 3: It won the bronze in the trending that Isaac of

2514
02:14:43,920 --> 02:14:48,240
Speaker 3: the trending topics it was Mother's Day of Gold is

2515
02:14:48,520 --> 02:14:52,320
Speaker 3: still the champ. It's just and and Mike. This is

2516
02:14:53,160 --> 02:14:57,360
Speaker 3: This also tells you that for as much as it

2517
02:14:57,400 --> 02:14:58,880
Speaker 3: bothered me that he was dumb enough to do this

2518
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:02,120
Speaker 3: on camera, it's also just the fact that he hasn't

2519
02:15:02,200 --> 02:15:05,960
Speaker 3: changed one bit, rolling or not rolling on the film

2520
02:15:06,480 --> 02:15:08,920
Speaker 3: or not on camera or not. He still had a

2521
02:15:09,680 --> 02:15:10,640
Speaker 3: you know, you're still.

2522
02:15:10,560 --> 02:15:14,440
Speaker 2: Driving around with a gun, yes in your hand? Yes, yes,

2523
02:15:14,640 --> 02:15:20,960
Speaker 2: so League office aware and investigating. You've got memphisis suspended

2524
02:15:20,960 --> 02:15:23,000
Speaker 2: in from team activities, which at this point is what

2525
02:15:23,160 --> 02:15:26,560
Speaker 2: a photo shoot and maybe some community outreach thing that

2526
02:15:26,560 --> 02:15:28,120
Speaker 2: he would have done, which I don't think you want

2527
02:15:28,160 --> 02:15:29,800
Speaker 2: him front and center for at this point. Anyway.

2528
02:15:29,840 --> 02:15:32,720
Speaker 3: I also this may be, this may be splitting hairs,

2529
02:15:32,760 --> 02:15:35,600
Speaker 3: but I'd love to know if the gun that he

2530
02:15:35,760 --> 02:15:39,000
Speaker 3: flashed in this video was the same one in Colorado,

2531
02:15:39,080 --> 02:15:41,160
Speaker 3: because Jos said they didn't know whose gun it was.

2532
02:15:41,240 --> 02:15:42,080
Speaker 2: That's a fair point.

2533
02:15:42,320 --> 02:15:45,200
Speaker 3: And and so you know, there's a lot of stuff

2534
02:15:45,200 --> 02:15:48,480
Speaker 3: of just of of not following through and not going

2535
02:15:48,520 --> 02:15:51,760
Speaker 3: through with the the treatment and making a mockery of

2536
02:15:52,400 --> 02:15:55,960
Speaker 3: whether it be you know, alcohol treatment or you know,

2537
02:15:56,360 --> 02:15:59,280
Speaker 3: emotional stress and getting help for that. It's also that

2538
02:15:59,320 --> 02:16:01,120
Speaker 3: it could be the stra the fact that he just lied,

2539
02:16:02,320 --> 02:16:05,440
Speaker 3: which would you know, be even more to it. In

2540
02:16:05,480 --> 02:16:09,040
Speaker 3: the NBA and ESPN look like accomplices in all of this.

2541
02:16:09,200 --> 02:16:14,560
Speaker 2: Well broadcast partner, they got that exclusive Dan. Somewhere executives

2542
02:16:14,600 --> 02:16:17,440
Speaker 2: are asking themselves was it worth it? And at this

2543
02:16:17,560 --> 02:16:22,160
Speaker 2: point the answer is a resounding no. He's Dan Byer.

2544
02:16:22,200 --> 02:16:25,880
Speaker 2: I'm Mike Harmon here live from the Tyraq dot Com studios.

2545
02:16:26,040 --> 02:16:28,720
Speaker 2: Coming up next, we will get back into the teams

2546
02:16:28,720 --> 02:16:32,400
Speaker 2: actually still participating in the NBA playoffs, a big Game

2547
02:16:32,480 --> 02:16:36,240
Speaker 2: seven coming up a little later on possible huge ramifications

2548
02:16:36,280 --> 02:16:38,480
Speaker 2: for the teams involved. We'll talk all about it next

2549
02:16:38,520 --> 02:16:41,200
Speaker 2: year on Fox Welcome back in It's Fox Sports Sunday,

2550
02:16:41,280 --> 02:16:44,920
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Mike Harmon alongside Dan Bayer. Don't worry.

2551
02:16:44,959 --> 02:16:47,120
Speaker 2: We will get to a Game seven preview. We got that.

2552
02:16:47,680 --> 02:16:51,360
Speaker 2: We'll do that twenty minutes time. But be remiss Dan.

2553
02:16:51,800 --> 02:16:55,360
Speaker 2: The breaking story of the morning, the IG Live video

2554
02:16:55,920 --> 02:17:00,120
Speaker 2: John Morant with a it's a very brief clip, but

2555
02:17:00,360 --> 02:17:05,040
Speaker 2: brandishing a gun. The Grizzlies looking into it. They've issued

2556
02:17:05,040 --> 02:17:07,879
Speaker 2: a statement, suspended it from team activities. For those just

2557
02:17:07,959 --> 02:17:12,199
Speaker 2: joining us uprising you of the situation. Also, you've got

2558
02:17:12,240 --> 02:17:15,240
Speaker 2: the NBA. We're aware of the video and we're looking

2559
02:17:15,280 --> 02:17:19,320
Speaker 2: into this situation. So that's where we sit as of

2560
02:17:19,400 --> 02:17:25,360
Speaker 2: this morning. And so now it offers context clarity whenever

2561
02:17:25,520 --> 02:17:28,680
Speaker 2: anybody does the and this has been the long, long,

2562
02:17:28,720 --> 02:17:31,720
Speaker 2: the staple in the I don't want to call it

2563
02:17:31,760 --> 02:17:36,680
Speaker 2: the journalism world because ascribing a big jay to celebrity

2564
02:17:37,200 --> 02:17:40,760
Speaker 2: and sports journalism is always kind of odd unless you're

2565
02:17:40,760 --> 02:17:45,520
Speaker 2: really investigating something. But we've always had the ability to

2566
02:17:45,560 --> 02:17:48,280
Speaker 2: go on a couch for from a daytime talk show.

2567
02:17:48,760 --> 02:17:53,080
Speaker 2: Right Famously, Barbara Walters or Oprah Winfrey, whether it's a

2568
02:17:53,120 --> 02:17:56,640
Speaker 2: primetime special or an afternoon show like Oprah had for years,

2569
02:17:56,800 --> 02:18:00,360
Speaker 2: where something happens in a celebrities world or apt boarding

2570
02:18:00,400 --> 02:18:03,840
Speaker 2: of our sports figures world, and then they're on the

2571
02:18:03,879 --> 02:18:07,640
Speaker 2: couch to talk about it. And we got that, and

2572
02:18:07,680 --> 02:18:10,879
Speaker 2: they did ever feel genuine. They always feel a little greasy,

2573
02:18:10,920 --> 02:18:15,720
Speaker 2: a little weird of damage control, reputation, spin and everything else.

2574
02:18:16,040 --> 02:18:20,320
Speaker 2: And the Ja Morant story as it evolves, it's something

2575
02:18:20,320 --> 02:18:22,119
Speaker 2: you and I have been talking about on and off

2576
02:18:22,160 --> 02:18:26,160
Speaker 2: air that we just turned back the clock just a

2577
02:18:26,200 --> 02:18:27,879
Speaker 2: few weeks and we had some of.

2578
02:18:27,840 --> 02:18:30,640
Speaker 3: The similar It is amazing because I thought that the

2579
02:18:30,879 --> 02:18:33,520
Speaker 3: Jamran interview that he did with Jalen Rose at the

2580
02:18:33,520 --> 02:18:37,200
Speaker 3: time was just atrocious and it was just there to

2581
02:18:37,200 --> 02:18:40,000
Speaker 3: benefit JAW. It was there to benefit the NBA, and

2582
02:18:40,040 --> 02:18:43,879
Speaker 3: it was there to benefit ESPN, and Jalen Rose fought back.

2583
02:18:43,920 --> 02:18:46,800
Speaker 3: I know Dan Levittard was very critical. ESPN has a

2584
02:18:46,800 --> 02:18:49,080
Speaker 3: lot of good journalists on staff. Jalen Row shouldn't have

2585
02:18:49,120 --> 02:18:54,080
Speaker 3: done that interview. Those those Oprah interviews, those Barbara Walter interviews,

2586
02:18:54,840 --> 02:18:59,520
Speaker 3: they served both they served the TV. Everybody absolutely, yes,

2587
02:18:59,840 --> 02:19:02,240
Speaker 3: and that's what this felt like. And this that shouldn't

2588
02:19:02,280 --> 02:19:04,520
Speaker 3: have been the case. So now that we know, now

2589
02:19:06,440 --> 02:19:08,440
Speaker 3: you're gonna get a taste. Not only are you gonna

2590
02:19:08,480 --> 02:19:11,640
Speaker 3: hear what Josh said when he came back from the

2591
02:19:11,640 --> 02:19:14,080
Speaker 3: Grizzlies in a little bit and when he came back

2592
02:19:14,120 --> 02:19:17,440
Speaker 3: off of missing eight games, but we're gonna hear this

2593
02:19:17,520 --> 02:19:19,439
Speaker 3: is this is a part. There's a couple of questions

2594
02:19:20,200 --> 02:19:23,200
Speaker 3: and how bad not only did this interview sound at

2595
02:19:23,240 --> 02:19:26,160
Speaker 3: the time, but now how bad does it sound? This

2596
02:19:26,360 --> 02:19:31,520
Speaker 3: was Jalen Rose interviewing John Morant immediately after John Morant

2597
02:19:31,600 --> 02:19:33,879
Speaker 3: met with the NBA and was given his ban earlier

2598
02:19:33,920 --> 02:19:36,080
Speaker 3: this year. You're a superstar.

2599
02:19:36,959 --> 02:19:40,200
Speaker 8: He wanted to face this of the NBA. What is

2600
02:19:40,280 --> 02:19:43,800
Speaker 8: the last ten or eleven days been like for you?

2601
02:19:44,080 --> 02:19:46,640
Speaker 3: And how are you doing? How are you doing me personally?

2602
02:19:47,240 --> 02:19:51,680
Speaker 3: My phil what are you doing mentally? Good?

2603
02:19:51,720 --> 02:19:55,039
Speaker 4: And I haven't been in many years now. I'm in

2604
02:19:55,080 --> 02:19:58,120
Speaker 4: a space where I'm very comfortable. And I was constantly,

2605
02:19:58,120 --> 02:19:59,240
Speaker 4: you know, talking to therapist.

2606
02:19:59,360 --> 02:20:02,480
Speaker 3: Can you pause that I've been doing you know so

2607
02:20:02,840 --> 02:20:06,480
Speaker 3: again ten or eleven days? And he is, he's these

2608
02:20:06,600 --> 02:20:09,120
Speaker 3: these therapy sessions, Mike. You know some people are in

2609
02:20:09,200 --> 02:20:11,680
Speaker 3: therapy for years. Ja Morants only needed a week and

2610
02:20:11,680 --> 02:20:14,480
Speaker 3: a half. That's what he was saying. He was cured

2611
02:20:14,680 --> 02:20:17,199
Speaker 3: at that time. All right, go ahead, ye this moment

2612
02:20:17,200 --> 02:20:20,680
Speaker 3: of clarity. Good, I'm good. All right, let's hear some

2613
02:20:20,720 --> 02:20:21,000
Speaker 3: more of this.

2614
02:20:21,879 --> 02:20:25,280
Speaker 4: I'm doing anxiety, breathing, you know, different stuff to you know,

2615
02:20:25,320 --> 02:20:27,560
Speaker 4: help me manage that and you know, release, you know,

2616
02:20:27,640 --> 02:20:28,840
Speaker 4: all that stuff for my body.

2617
02:20:29,160 --> 02:20:33,520
Speaker 8: When did you say I'm gonna do this and it's necessary.

2618
02:20:33,640 --> 02:20:37,440
Speaker 4: Now that I made a you know, terrible mistake, you know,

2619
02:20:37,520 --> 02:20:42,480
Speaker 4: being inside a club and you know, went live. I

2620
02:20:42,560 --> 02:20:46,040
Speaker 4: put myself in, you know, a bad position. And also

2621
02:20:46,200 --> 02:20:49,360
Speaker 4: it's you know, my daughter there's times where she even

2622
02:20:49,400 --> 02:20:51,920
Speaker 4: tell me if she's you know, had a bad day,

2623
02:20:52,320 --> 02:20:54,280
Speaker 4: and I felt like, you know, if she can tell

2624
02:20:54,320 --> 02:20:55,800
Speaker 4: me that, and you know, I can be able to

2625
02:20:55,840 --> 02:20:56,440
Speaker 4: go and talk to.

2626
02:20:56,360 --> 02:21:00,960
Speaker 3: Somebody as well, you at all right, Honestly, it didn't

2627
02:21:00,959 --> 02:21:01,400
Speaker 3: get anything.

2628
02:21:01,720 --> 02:21:04,480
Speaker 2: His three year old was able to say that she

2629
02:21:04,600 --> 02:21:10,840
Speaker 2: was having a bad day. Really and look, Jalen, obviously

2630
02:21:10,879 --> 02:21:13,320
Speaker 2: someone wrote that for him too. Did you feel like

2631
02:21:13,640 --> 02:21:17,599
Speaker 2: the how did you know? I was in the commissioner's

2632
02:21:17,640 --> 02:21:21,040
Speaker 2: office and he was threatening my career. I had cops

2633
02:21:21,080 --> 02:21:24,199
Speaker 2: coming to my house and telling me that my life

2634
02:21:24,320 --> 02:21:25,720
Speaker 2: was over as I knew.

2635
02:21:25,600 --> 02:21:28,760
Speaker 3: It it was. It was so bad. It's even worse

2636
02:21:28,879 --> 02:21:30,440
Speaker 3: now that we know what we know.

2637
02:21:30,760 --> 02:21:31,320
Speaker 2: So cringey.

2638
02:21:31,480 --> 02:21:34,760
Speaker 3: It does the therapy part that you know again the

2639
02:21:34,800 --> 02:21:38,360
Speaker 3: week and a half that he took, the the other

2640
02:21:38,400 --> 02:21:40,040
Speaker 3: part that he mentioned at least in that interview. And

2641
02:21:40,080 --> 02:21:42,720
Speaker 3: we're going to hear more from job because I'm telling

2642
02:21:42,760 --> 02:21:46,320
Speaker 3: you it's better. Yeah, three's three old.

2643
02:21:48,800 --> 02:21:51,000
Speaker 2: Bad day? What was a bad day? Well, I colored

2644
02:21:51,000 --> 02:21:54,480
Speaker 2: outside the line. I didn't know what She's not gonna

2645
02:21:54,480 --> 02:21:55,879
Speaker 2: be able to say at the age of three.

2646
02:21:56,600 --> 02:21:59,120
Speaker 3: Oh man, when I sat my two year old down

2647
02:21:59,280 --> 02:22:02,240
Speaker 3: and told him explaining the job situation.

2648
02:22:01,800 --> 02:22:05,680
Speaker 2: Well you talked about the flowery come on, still.

2649
02:22:05,440 --> 02:22:07,920
Speaker 3: Picking all the flowers. The funny part about it goes

2650
02:22:08,120 --> 02:22:12,520
Speaker 3: yeah with the uh, you know, the situation and being

2651
02:22:12,520 --> 02:22:15,400
Speaker 3: in the club. It was like he learned that don't

2652
02:22:15,440 --> 02:22:18,080
Speaker 3: take the gun to the club like that. That's what

2653
02:22:18,120 --> 02:22:22,000
Speaker 3: he answered with, like that's that's was the lesson that

2654
02:22:22,080 --> 02:22:24,760
Speaker 3: John Morant learned. Now, if you want to, if you

2655
02:22:24,800 --> 02:22:28,640
Speaker 3: really believe that John Morant learned after missing those eight

2656
02:22:28,720 --> 02:22:31,320
Speaker 3: games that he that he didn't play in. This was

2657
02:22:31,400 --> 02:22:36,240
Speaker 3: him upon returning to Memphis and being active with the Grizzlies.

2658
02:22:36,280 --> 02:22:40,800
Speaker 3: This was on March twenty. First, this is John Morant returning,

2659
02:22:41,520 --> 02:22:44,720
Speaker 3: and we apologize for the basketballs in the background, but

2660
02:22:45,120 --> 02:22:49,760
Speaker 3: listen to these comments knowing what we know now, I made,

2661
02:22:49,800 --> 02:22:51,000
Speaker 3: you know, a terrible decision.

2662
02:22:51,120 --> 02:22:53,640
Speaker 4: But being away from you know, my team definitely, you know,

2663
02:22:53,680 --> 02:22:56,000
Speaker 4: will hurt me the most. I sent message to him,

2664
02:22:56,040 --> 02:22:58,720
Speaker 4: you know, apologizing and stuff, but better to you know,

2665
02:22:58,879 --> 02:23:01,280
Speaker 4: tall something in person. So finally being able to be

2666
02:23:01,360 --> 02:23:03,320
Speaker 4: back to do that definitely, you know, helps.

2667
02:23:03,120 --> 02:23:04,400
Speaker 3: Me out a lot and you know, make me a

2668
02:23:04,400 --> 02:23:07,240
Speaker 3: lot more comfortable. Okay that that that that's fine, But

2669
02:23:07,400 --> 02:23:12,160
Speaker 3: not talking yeah, yeah, listen to this one might always

2670
02:23:12,240 --> 02:23:12,640
Speaker 3: be joah.

2671
02:23:13,320 --> 02:23:16,320
Speaker 4: Well know for anybody only follow with me right now

2672
02:23:16,440 --> 02:23:18,840
Speaker 4: is you know, just getting into you know space mentally

2673
02:23:18,920 --> 02:23:21,080
Speaker 4: that I don't know, I'm very comfortable in and you know,

2674
02:23:21,120 --> 02:23:24,360
Speaker 4: I feel good. That's why I made the decision to

2675
02:23:24,400 --> 02:23:27,200
Speaker 4: you know, take the time away and you know, go

2676
02:23:27,280 --> 02:23:30,000
Speaker 4: to counseling. Then that helped me learn you know a

2677
02:23:30,000 --> 02:23:30,840
Speaker 4: lot of things.

2678
02:23:31,120 --> 02:23:34,280
Speaker 3: He didn't make the decision to go anywhere. He was

2679
02:23:34,400 --> 02:23:37,000
Speaker 3: ordered to go do it, and he went for a week.

2680
02:23:37,400 --> 02:23:41,400
Speaker 3: But guess what Mike jaw will always be jaw. No

2681
02:23:41,680 --> 02:23:45,560
Speaker 3: truer words have been spoken, And how dumb do those

2682
02:23:45,600 --> 02:23:48,480
Speaker 3: words sound? Right now? Didn't learn a thing.

2683
02:23:48,520 --> 02:23:53,360
Speaker 2: I'm still going back to the interview. It was the

2684
02:23:53,440 --> 02:23:55,600
Speaker 2: dog are a response, Yeah, yeah, are you?

2685
02:23:55,720 --> 02:23:56,360
Speaker 3: Are you doing now?

2686
02:23:57,200 --> 02:24:01,879
Speaker 2: I and yet puff piece are gonna be there, the

2687
02:24:01,920 --> 02:24:04,959
Speaker 2: car wash as we call it, the brush it away.

2688
02:24:05,080 --> 02:24:09,520
Speaker 2: He's eligible to come back. And you'd like to think

2689
02:24:09,640 --> 02:24:12,320
Speaker 2: that your lesson has learned. And we all do dumb

2690
02:24:12,360 --> 02:24:15,400
Speaker 2: things in our lives, say don't don't don't get me wrong,

2691
02:24:16,400 --> 02:24:18,800
Speaker 2: but you like to think you learn your lesson and

2692
02:24:18,800 --> 02:24:21,800
Speaker 2: that it's a real that it's a real learning, a

2693
02:24:21,879 --> 02:24:26,440
Speaker 2: real undertaking, and in this case stress management, where you

2694
02:24:26,480 --> 02:24:30,000
Speaker 2: are in terms of processing things. Those aren't instant answers.

2695
02:24:30,200 --> 02:24:34,400
Speaker 2: They never know, never, are never. And to make it

2696
02:24:34,520 --> 02:24:37,560
Speaker 2: sound like you close the door like that, that's that's

2697
02:24:37,600 --> 02:24:40,560
Speaker 2: the hard part, is like it And maybe it's it's

2698
02:24:40,600 --> 02:24:43,800
Speaker 2: a word choice thing, but it didn't sound to me

2699
02:24:43,920 --> 02:24:47,720
Speaker 2: as we try to interpret what is intent, because we

2700
02:24:47,800 --> 02:24:51,120
Speaker 2: do it watching officials and players and whatever in terms

2701
02:24:51,120 --> 02:24:53,560
Speaker 2: of end game. Same thing here with the words of

2702
02:24:54,400 --> 02:24:56,080
Speaker 2: it made it sound like, all right, I did that,

2703
02:24:56,200 --> 02:25:00,200
Speaker 2: It's done. I'm back, not it's an ongoing process. I'm

2704
02:25:00,280 --> 02:25:03,800
Speaker 2: learning to deal with stress better. I'm learning to do

2705
02:25:03,879 --> 02:25:07,760
Speaker 2: this great and how I need to process things and

2706
02:25:07,879 --> 02:25:10,560
Speaker 2: take take and call myself that I was telling you.

2707
02:25:10,640 --> 02:25:14,000
Speaker 2: I was watching the Michael J. Fox movie that's now

2708
02:25:14,040 --> 02:25:19,080
Speaker 2: out on Apple. It's called Still, talking about his diagnosis

2709
02:25:19,120 --> 02:25:21,680
Speaker 2: with Parkinson's and how he'd hit it and how he'd

2710
02:25:21,760 --> 02:25:25,400
Speaker 2: crafted this persona and gone through and all of these

2711
02:25:25,440 --> 02:25:29,520
Speaker 2: different things in his life of you know, you're an actor,

2712
02:25:29,560 --> 02:25:32,440
Speaker 2: but you're also acting on a whole other level with

2713
02:25:32,600 --> 02:25:36,000
Speaker 2: that and trying to come to grips with this diagnosis

2714
02:25:36,040 --> 02:25:39,440
Speaker 2: and how you betray yourself to other people with jaw.

2715
02:25:40,440 --> 02:25:46,119
Speaker 2: Seems like there's still a disconnect between recognizing and admitting

2716
02:25:46,160 --> 02:25:48,840
Speaker 2: to yourself. You know where you're at in this process,

2717
02:25:48,840 --> 02:25:50,680
Speaker 2: because if you're having it, if you had that issue

2718
02:25:50,680 --> 02:25:53,440
Speaker 2: and that was legitimately a this is how I deal

2719
02:25:53,480 --> 02:25:55,680
Speaker 2: with stress or whatever, you didn't learn because you're right

2720
02:25:55,720 --> 02:25:59,240
Speaker 2: back into the same patterns, right you didn't evolve into.

2721
02:25:59,600 --> 02:26:02,279
Speaker 2: I need to go check in on there. But people

2722
02:26:02,360 --> 02:26:05,800
Speaker 2: have their feelings about twelve step programs. I'm not here

2723
02:26:05,840 --> 02:26:08,320
Speaker 2: to preach to anybody about any of this, right how

2724
02:26:08,360 --> 02:26:11,279
Speaker 2: you deal with stress. As long as you're not harming

2725
02:26:11,280 --> 02:26:16,040
Speaker 2: yourself and others find your space, you're having a very

2726
02:26:16,200 --> 02:26:21,240
Speaker 2: possible huge impact on yourself, your life and all the

2727
02:26:21,280 --> 02:26:24,680
Speaker 2: people that depend on you, work with you, and you

2728
02:26:24,760 --> 02:26:30,920
Speaker 2: bring potentially an element of danger into their lives as well. Right,

2729
02:26:31,000 --> 02:26:34,400
Speaker 2: so you're clearly not dealing with the stresses if that

2730
02:26:34,560 --> 02:26:38,080
Speaker 2: was a legitimate part of this, be it alcohol or

2731
02:26:38,120 --> 02:26:40,080
Speaker 2: however else. You know, because there are a lot of

2732
02:26:40,160 --> 02:26:43,760
Speaker 2: rumors as to how he was processing. We talked about

2733
02:26:43,760 --> 02:26:46,800
Speaker 2: it a little bit earlier, Dan, but clearly that pattern

2734
02:26:47,080 --> 02:26:50,280
Speaker 2: and Jabi and Jaw is where we're at here on

2735
02:26:50,800 --> 02:26:52,040
Speaker 2: Mother's Day twenty twenty three.

2736
02:26:52,320 --> 02:26:56,879
Speaker 3: He'll always be Jah And I know that surroundings and

2737
02:26:56,879 --> 02:27:01,840
Speaker 3: where you are don't matter, you know, you know, if

2738
02:27:01,879 --> 02:27:05,240
Speaker 3: you're if you're battling alcoholism, doesn't matter. If you're a

2739
02:27:05,280 --> 02:27:09,240
Speaker 3: billionaire you know, or someone who's making right.

2740
02:27:09,240 --> 02:27:11,800
Speaker 2: We talked about the costs of cigarettes earlier, Right, it

2741
02:27:11,840 --> 02:27:13,959
Speaker 2: doesn't matter as the same.

2742
02:27:14,080 --> 02:27:17,920
Speaker 3: The Jaws situation too, Mike is so unique because you

2743
02:27:17,959 --> 02:27:21,720
Speaker 3: look at at what what he's throwing away like there's

2744
02:27:22,200 --> 02:27:24,960
Speaker 3: you know, there's something about being the King of Chicago,

2745
02:27:25,040 --> 02:27:28,200
Speaker 3: your hometown you know, Walter Payton carried the torch, Michael

2746
02:27:28,280 --> 02:27:31,480
Speaker 3: Jordan obviously carried the torch. Guys have done that. Winning

2747
02:27:31,480 --> 02:27:33,600
Speaker 3: in New York is a big thing in LA. You know,

2748
02:27:33,879 --> 02:27:36,800
Speaker 3: Lebron wants to put himself up in the rafters with

2749
02:27:36,840 --> 02:27:39,600
Speaker 3: all of those Laker greats. There's something about doing so

2750
02:27:39,680 --> 02:27:45,440
Speaker 3: in the city. Memphis is Jaws town. It's his city.

2751
02:27:45,800 --> 02:27:48,960
Speaker 3: It it is it, you know, there there are very

2752
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:53,240
Speaker 3: few athletes who have that ability to you know, because

2753
02:27:53,240 --> 02:27:56,720
Speaker 3: you're competing sometimes with other sports, competing with other things

2754
02:27:56,760 --> 02:28:02,800
Speaker 3: in town, not Memphis is your city. And maybe who knows,

2755
02:28:02,800 --> 02:28:04,920
Speaker 3: maybe that's part of the problem because you know, it

2756
02:28:05,000 --> 02:28:07,439
Speaker 3: is his. But like there's you talk about the advantages

2757
02:28:07,480 --> 02:28:08,960
Speaker 3: of the things that he that he's you know, like

2758
02:28:09,040 --> 02:28:12,400
Speaker 3: throwing away like there's see, it's a very very unique

2759
02:28:12,400 --> 02:28:16,160
Speaker 3: situation and this, you know, these actions are just you know,

2760
02:28:16,240 --> 02:28:20,000
Speaker 3: all of these things, you know, aside from immense basketball talent,

2761
02:28:20,120 --> 02:28:27,640
Speaker 3: which nobody denies. Yeah, it's just it's overall it could

2762
02:28:27,640 --> 02:28:30,039
Speaker 3: be considered a sad story. I'm just not at that

2763
02:28:30,160 --> 02:28:33,879
Speaker 3: point because I feel that they they in the NBA

2764
02:28:34,040 --> 02:28:38,640
Speaker 3: and ESPN and John Moran specifically tried to cover it

2765
02:28:38,720 --> 02:28:41,560
Speaker 3: up and sell us this bill of goods, and now

2766
02:28:41,560 --> 02:28:44,360
Speaker 3: we see what's really happening, and that to me is

2767
02:28:44,560 --> 02:28:45,960
Speaker 3: it's a joke and it's a shame.

2768
02:28:46,240 --> 02:28:49,320
Speaker 2: Now we open up the next chapter to see what

2769
02:28:49,560 --> 02:28:52,800
Speaker 2: more comes out of this video. Is there any other

2770
02:28:53,640 --> 02:28:56,960
Speaker 2: evidence of things in recent because remember that all the

2771
02:28:56,959 --> 02:29:02,320
Speaker 2: the stuff from the pacers and the club and the

2772
02:29:02,360 --> 02:29:04,879
Speaker 2: incident in the pickup game, they all came out in

2773
02:29:05,040 --> 02:29:08,560
Speaker 2: rapid five mall cops succession, right, mall cop. So we'll

2774
02:29:08,600 --> 02:29:13,720
Speaker 2: see that. We get buddy immediately, you said, mall cop.

2775
02:29:13,800 --> 02:29:16,760
Speaker 2: That's what's gonna happen. Dan Byer, you know how this works.

2776
02:29:17,680 --> 02:29:18,360
Speaker 3: I do him for it.

2777
02:29:18,480 --> 02:29:20,840
Speaker 2: They didn't take his segue. I don't think though he

2778
02:29:21,040 --> 02:29:23,880
Speaker 2: is speaking of segues. He's Dan Byer. I'm Mike Harbon

02:29:50,120 --> 02:29:53,400

2788
02:29:53,440 --> 02:29:55,119
Speaker 2: update on what's trending. Get our sport DA.

2789
02:29:55,480 --> 02:29:59,360
Speaker 5: That's what's trending is the Memphis Brizzlies. Earlier this morning

2790
02:29:59,440 --> 02:30:04,280
Speaker 5: suspend starguard John Morant from all team activities pending an

2791
02:30:04,440 --> 02:30:07,640
Speaker 5: NBA review of a new social media video that went

2792
02:30:07,760 --> 02:30:11,520
Speaker 5: viral this morning from an Instagram live stream by one

2793
02:30:11,560 --> 02:30:14,440
Speaker 5: of Morant's friends, in which Morant is shown in the

2794
02:30:14,480 --> 02:30:18,440
Speaker 5: passenger seat of a car briefly brandishing what appears to

2795
02:30:18,480 --> 02:30:22,000
Speaker 5: be a gun. Now, two months ago, the NBA suspended

2796
02:30:22,040 --> 02:30:25,960
Speaker 5: Moran eight games after he live streamed himself on his

2797
02:30:26,120 --> 02:30:30,080
Speaker 5: own Instagram account brandishing a gun at a gentleman's club.

2798
02:30:30,440 --> 02:30:34,119
Speaker 5: No comment yet from Moran or any of his representatives.

2799
02:30:34,200 --> 02:30:35,840
Speaker 3: You've got to have a fall guy.

2800
02:30:36,360 --> 02:30:39,960
Speaker 5: Sage advice anyway. On Saturday night, the Phoenix Suns fired

2801
02:30:40,040 --> 02:30:43,240
Speaker 5: head coach Monty Williams after four seasons. Today at three

2802
02:30:43,240 --> 02:30:46,119
Speaker 5: point thirty Eastern Game seven of the East Semi Finals,

2803
02:30:46,160 --> 02:30:49,119
Speaker 5: with the Boston Celtics hosting the Philadelphia seventy six ers.

2804
02:30:49,600 --> 02:30:53,240
Speaker 5: NFL media reports that the Miami Dolphins are signing former

2805
02:30:53,360 --> 02:30:57,680
Speaker 5: New England Patriots offensive tackle Isaiah Win to a one

2806
02:30:57,800 --> 02:31:00,120
Speaker 5: year deal. And we've got a couple of Major League

2807
02:31:00,240 --> 02:31:04,280
Speaker 5: Baseball games going on right now in Cleveland. The Guardians

2808
02:31:04,320 --> 02:31:07,520
Speaker 5: have a one nothing lead over the Angels in the

2809
02:31:07,520 --> 02:31:10,480
Speaker 5: bottom half of the fifth inning, and they are resuming

2810
02:31:10,720 --> 02:31:16,160
Speaker 5: yesterday's game between the Mets and Nationals in Washington after a.

2811
02:31:16,240 --> 02:31:17,600
Speaker 2: Four hour rain delay.

2812
02:31:17,640 --> 02:31:20,160
Speaker 5: They're resuming in the top of the third inning as

2813
02:31:20,240 --> 02:31:23,240
Speaker 5: part of a split doubleheader. Ya and the Mets have

2814
02:31:23,400 --> 02:31:25,959
Speaker 5: just tied the Nationals one one fellas.

2815
02:31:25,959 --> 02:31:29,119
Speaker 2: Back to you, thanks so much, Isaac, Mike Harmon dan

2816
02:31:29,200 --> 02:31:31,760
Speaker 2: Byer with you here from the ti rac dot com studios.

2817
02:31:31,840 --> 02:31:34,599
Speaker 2: I had all sorts of stories of whimsy and fascination

2818
02:31:34,800 --> 02:31:39,080
Speaker 2: and auctions and realize prices and sales, and then John

2819
02:31:39,120 --> 02:31:40,080
Speaker 2: Moran happened.

2820
02:31:40,120 --> 02:31:43,320
Speaker 3: Hi, Hey, I know we're gonna talk six or Celtics.

2821
02:31:43,520 --> 02:31:45,800
Speaker 3: I also had a couple of things that we weren't

2822
02:31:45,800 --> 02:31:48,160
Speaker 3: able to get to. But there's one thing I want

2823
02:31:48,160 --> 02:31:52,000
Speaker 3: to quick shoehorn in, Mike, because we really never talked

2824
02:31:52,000 --> 02:31:53,840
Speaker 3: about the Warriors, talked about the Sun.

2825
02:31:54,640 --> 02:31:57,920
Speaker 2: There's a lot of Warriors stuff between Bob Myers, Klay Thompson,

2826
02:31:58,000 --> 02:32:00,760
Speaker 2: Draymond Green and his post comments.

2827
02:32:00,800 --> 02:32:04,400
Speaker 3: And I think that those those conversations are conversations that

2828
02:32:04,440 --> 02:32:06,440
Speaker 3: we could maybe even have next week, depending on what

2829
02:32:06,520 --> 02:32:09,480
Speaker 3: transpires this week. But we'll know more and they'll be

2830
02:32:09,560 --> 02:32:12,480
Speaker 3: stories this offseason. But I think that now is the

2831
02:32:12,480 --> 02:32:16,959
Speaker 3: perfect time to relive the quotes that owner Joe Lakab

2832
02:32:17,040 --> 02:32:20,640
Speaker 3: made to New York Times magazine in April of twenty sixteen.

2833
02:32:21,120 --> 02:32:24,279
Speaker 3: This is in the midst of their seventy three win season,

2834
02:32:25,040 --> 02:32:27,400
Speaker 3: coming off the season when they won an NBA title,

2835
02:32:28,120 --> 02:32:32,120
Speaker 3: and Joe Lakab was dead wrong. This is what he

2836
02:32:32,160 --> 02:32:36,640
Speaker 3: had to say, quote the great, great venture capitalists who

2837
02:32:36,640 --> 02:32:40,440
Speaker 3: built company after company. That's not an accident, and none

2838
02:32:40,520 --> 02:32:43,879
Speaker 3: of this is an accident either. We've crushed them on

2839
02:32:43,920 --> 02:32:46,920
Speaker 3: the basketball court and we're going to for years because

2840
02:32:46,959 --> 02:32:49,960
Speaker 3: of the way we've built this team. We're light years

2841
02:32:49,959 --> 02:32:53,760
Speaker 3: ahead of probably every other team instructure in planning, in

2842
02:32:53,840 --> 02:32:56,400
Speaker 3: how we're going to go about things. We're going to

2843
02:32:56,400 --> 02:32:58,400
Speaker 3: be a handful for the rest of the NBA to

2844
02:32:58,440 --> 02:33:02,720
Speaker 3: deal with for a long time. And the the the kicker,

2845
02:33:03,440 --> 02:33:06,199
Speaker 3: the kicker, because he had to then text Steph Curry

2846
02:33:06,920 --> 02:33:09,680
Speaker 3: and almost apologize for what he said before the article

2847
02:33:09,760 --> 02:33:13,959
Speaker 3: came out, said, it's not just Steph Curry. It's architecting

2848
02:33:14,040 --> 02:33:16,240
Speaker 3: a team, a style of play, the way they all

2849
02:33:16,280 --> 02:33:21,400
Speaker 3: play together. It's all extremely thought through. That's how the

2850
02:33:21,560 --> 02:33:26,200
Speaker 3: Warriors were going to dominate. Well, life comes to you fast,

2851
02:33:26,200 --> 02:33:29,279
Speaker 3: and I know it's seven years ago, but without Kevin Durant,

2852
02:33:30,520 --> 02:33:33,960
Speaker 3: there is in building the organization and it's not just Again,

2853
02:33:34,000 --> 02:33:35,760
Speaker 3: it's not just it's not just Steph Curry. And I

2854
02:33:35,760 --> 02:33:37,760
Speaker 3: know that's a conversation you and Jason have a lot.

2855
02:33:38,400 --> 02:33:40,039
Speaker 3: It sure seemed like it was a lot of Steph

2856
02:33:40,120 --> 02:33:43,440
Speaker 3: Curry this season, and it seems like this great way

2857
02:33:43,440 --> 02:33:46,520
Speaker 3: that you've had of building this franchise, maybe it didn't

2858
02:33:46,560 --> 02:33:49,920
Speaker 3: come through to fruition, like the Jordan Poole contract, the

2859
02:33:50,000 --> 02:33:54,600
Speaker 3: drafting of James Weisman, what's happening with Jonathan Kaminga. All

2860
02:33:54,600 --> 02:33:56,560
Speaker 3: of these moves that you thought were going to put

2861
02:33:56,600 --> 02:33:58,520
Speaker 3: you light years ahead of the rest of the NBA

2862
02:33:59,280 --> 02:34:01,160
Speaker 3: have now put you to where you are right now.

2863
02:34:01,360 --> 02:34:03,920
Speaker 2: Well, and you gave away a couple of games. I

2864
02:34:04,320 --> 02:34:06,760
Speaker 2: love the fact that Steve Kerr pretty much owned it. Yeah,

2865
02:34:06,760 --> 02:34:10,000
Speaker 2: Game one and Game four, Like you got blowout games,

2866
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:12,560
Speaker 2: that's fine, but you had two games where you had

2867
02:34:12,600 --> 02:34:14,800
Speaker 2: the lead going into the fourth quarter you couldn't finish.

2868
02:34:15,000 --> 02:34:16,520
Speaker 2: Steph Curry couldn't get a shot.

2869
02:34:17,040 --> 02:34:19,000
Speaker 3: But Mike, they're going to dominate. They are going to

2870
02:34:19,480 --> 02:34:23,680
Speaker 3: and listen, their four titles are this one of them

2871
02:34:23,720 --> 02:34:26,000
Speaker 3: was already in the bank. Yeah, but so he was boasting,

2872
02:34:26,040 --> 02:34:28,240
Speaker 3: and again it's not Steph Curry, so it's it's even

2873
02:34:28,280 --> 02:34:31,240
Speaker 3: after that. Does this team look any like remotely close

2874
02:34:31,280 --> 02:34:33,840
Speaker 3: to being able to move on from the Steph Curry era? No?

2875
02:34:33,840 --> 02:34:36,480
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, not even the Steph Curry even with him

2876
02:34:36,520 --> 02:34:39,120
Speaker 2: still there and being able to put up points, the

2877
02:34:39,160 --> 02:34:41,640
Speaker 2: rest of it has to work around him, and right

2878
02:34:41,680 --> 02:34:44,600
Speaker 2: now it's crumbling. I mean, Klay Thompson. They got a

2879
02:34:44,600 --> 02:34:47,840
Speaker 2: big decision to make with him, Like there's reports that, hey,

2880
02:34:47,879 --> 02:34:50,480
Speaker 2: you want an extension, all right, your dollar cost per

2881
02:34:50,560 --> 02:34:51,920
Speaker 2: year is going to have to go down.

2882
02:34:52,160 --> 02:34:52,400
Speaker 3: Sure.

2883
02:34:52,480 --> 02:34:56,120
Speaker 2: Draymond Green very adamant of Hey, I want to finish

2884
02:34:56,120 --> 02:34:57,760
Speaker 2: with the guys I wrote in on which is all

2885
02:34:57,800 --> 02:35:00,560
Speaker 2: fine and good. I mean, he'll opt because he can

2886
02:35:00,600 --> 02:35:03,560
Speaker 2: make more money doing that, of course, And that long

2887
02:35:04,160 --> 02:35:06,280
Speaker 2: hug he had with Lebron James at the end of

2888
02:35:06,280 --> 02:35:10,440
Speaker 2: that series, we all kind of chose and wonder what

2889
02:35:10,480 --> 02:35:14,680
Speaker 2: that means on a grander scale. But yeah, certainly when

2890
02:35:14,720 --> 02:35:17,160
Speaker 2: we look at what ownership tried to and look, you're

2891
02:35:17,160 --> 02:35:21,199
Speaker 2: gonna get boastful, right, Why is the interview talk interviewer

2892
02:35:21,240 --> 02:35:23,160
Speaker 2: talking to you? Yeah, they're coming to kiss your ass.

2893
02:35:23,520 --> 02:35:25,960
Speaker 2: So you're gonna talk about how great you are because

2894
02:35:25,959 --> 02:35:28,840
Speaker 2: that's what they're telling you. And all you're doing is

2895
02:35:28,920 --> 02:35:32,560
Speaker 2: reflecting what the media was saying. So you know for Lakeup,

2896
02:35:33,200 --> 02:35:35,440
Speaker 2: you know in the end, yeah, you did go out

2897
02:35:35,440 --> 02:35:38,320
Speaker 2: and get Kevin Durant and you push that thing. Kevin

2898
02:35:38,360 --> 02:35:40,039
Speaker 2: Durant probably wishes he stayed.

2899
02:35:40,120 --> 02:35:42,560
Speaker 3: Did this point two, You didn't need a venture capitalist

2900
02:35:42,600 --> 02:35:44,040
Speaker 3: to tell you that if you took him off your

2901
02:35:44,040 --> 02:35:47,320
Speaker 3: biggest competition in the conference and added them to your team,

2902
02:35:47,360 --> 02:35:48,920
Speaker 3: that you would have success.

2903
02:35:49,080 --> 02:35:50,920
Speaker 2: I think Joe in the three hundred levels could have

2904
02:35:50,959 --> 02:35:53,320
Speaker 2: told you that. Yeah, he's Dan Bayer. I'm my Carben here.

Speaker 2: in a six ' three win over the Stars to

2915
02:36:36,000 --> 02:36:40,440
Speaker 2: force a game seven. Are folks there in Seattle losing

2916
02:36:40,480 --> 02:36:42,760
Speaker 2: their minds. They're still waiting for Julio Rodriguez to learn

2917
02:36:42,800 --> 02:36:45,680
Speaker 2: how to hit a fastball, betting one ninety four at

2918
02:36:45,720 --> 02:36:49,480
Speaker 2: last count against fastballs. Oh but the Cracking given a

2919
02:36:49,520 --> 02:36:52,160
Speaker 2: lot of great moments, and let's face it, the merch

2920
02:36:52,240 --> 02:36:53,520
Speaker 2: sales are through the charts.

2921
02:36:55,320 --> 02:36:57,720
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, does that affect this card value

2922
02:36:57,800 --> 02:36:58,760
Speaker 3: for you for everly?

2923
02:36:58,879 --> 02:37:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be. I'm not I'm not big into

2924
02:37:01,520 --> 02:37:03,320
Speaker 2: the hockey card world. Something's gotta give.

2925
02:37:03,440 --> 02:37:05,879
Speaker 3: Okay, what about Julio Rodriguez.

2926
02:37:06,440 --> 02:37:10,160
Speaker 2: For Julio right now, it's tough. It's it's it's one

2927
02:37:10,200 --> 02:37:12,600
Speaker 2: of those your your white hot coming into the season.

2928
02:37:13,080 --> 02:37:16,000
Speaker 2: So cools down because Kelnick, Yeah, all of a sudden,

2929
02:37:16,040 --> 02:37:18,720
Speaker 2: you know, the renewed interest in him as he's putting

2930
02:37:18,800 --> 02:37:20,080
Speaker 2: up some MVP like numbers.

2931
02:37:20,240 --> 02:37:21,760
Speaker 3: The cheese cards in that swing.

2932
02:37:21,600 --> 02:37:24,840
Speaker 2: Nicely done, well played, But a guy that many had

2933
02:37:25,240 --> 02:37:30,080
Speaker 2: pushed aside marketed had gone cold, going back to his

2934
02:37:30,160 --> 02:37:33,760
Speaker 2: prospect cards with the Mets and even the early Seattle cards.

2935
02:37:33,800 --> 02:37:37,039
Speaker 2: But renewed interests there right the EBB and flow and

2936
02:37:37,040 --> 02:37:40,520
Speaker 2: and if Rodriguez starts sending mauls into the seats, then

2937
02:37:41,040 --> 02:37:43,880
Speaker 2: and people jump back on too much investment in the

2938
02:37:43,879 --> 02:37:48,879

2947

Speaker 2: Dan Bier, you might as well have them in the octagon.

2948
02:38:20,480 --> 02:38:24,959
Speaker 2: Loser leaves town match, both guys potentially fighting for their

2949
02:38:25,000 --> 02:38:29,800
Speaker 2: respective jobs for the sixers. Some great expectations you bring

2950
02:38:29,840 --> 02:38:33,400
Speaker 2: in star power. You're expecting great things, and we've seen

2951
02:38:33,520 --> 02:38:38,440
Speaker 2: uneven performances from Maxi and Hardened through this series. You

2952
02:38:38,440 --> 02:38:42,080
Speaker 2: look at Embiiden while the numbers are there at times

2953
02:38:42,280 --> 02:38:46,280
Speaker 2: laboring and wondering where he's at health wise. Truly on

2954
02:38:46,360 --> 02:38:49,400
Speaker 2: the Celtics side of things, we talking about the Warriors

2955
02:38:49,400 --> 02:38:53,920
Speaker 2: just a couple of minutes ago finish games, know your

2956
02:38:53,959 --> 02:38:58,520
Speaker 2: time out situations, work to find a shot as opposed

2957
02:38:58,520 --> 02:39:01,280
Speaker 2: to you know what, that's it, let's just go and

2958
02:39:01,360 --> 02:39:04,240
Speaker 2: run it and trying to find a space. I don't

2959
02:39:04,280 --> 02:39:06,959
Speaker 2: think Jason Tatum is gonna be as limited as he

2960
02:39:07,160 --> 02:39:10,800
Speaker 2: was in Game six, so maybe a much taller order

2961
02:39:10,959 --> 02:39:12,360
Speaker 2: for the sixers in this world.

2962
02:39:12,360 --> 02:39:13,840
Speaker 3: I don't think it's good. I don't think it's gonna

2963
02:39:13,840 --> 02:39:17,600
Speaker 3: be close, at least close for what the spread is saying.

2964
02:39:17,920 --> 02:39:21,200
Speaker 3: And I do I like Boston in this game. And

2965
02:39:21,240 --> 02:39:23,760
Speaker 3: this is not betting or gambling advice at all. It's

2966
02:39:23,800 --> 02:39:25,400
Speaker 3: just me saying of how I think it's gonna play

2967
02:39:25,400 --> 02:39:30,520
Speaker 3: out again. Could be being reminded of what happened last

2968
02:39:30,560 --> 02:39:32,600
Speaker 3: year when the Bucks lost Game seven of Boston and

2969
02:39:33,080 --> 02:39:35,760
Speaker 3: similar similar fashion, they're up three too, and then Boston

2970
02:39:35,920 --> 02:39:38,320
Speaker 3: went to Milwaukee and won, just like the Celtics did

2971
02:39:38,360 --> 02:39:41,280
Speaker 3: against Philadelphia because now the benches are so short, Mic,

2972
02:39:41,959 --> 02:39:45,959
Speaker 3: I just you just wonder if it does come down

2973
02:39:46,240 --> 02:39:52,680
Speaker 3: to it on energy. In being seven game series, they

2974
02:39:52,680 --> 02:39:54,800
Speaker 3: did have an extra day, so it's not like they

2975
02:39:54,800 --> 02:39:57,520
Speaker 3: played on Friday. They played on Thursday. But with the

2976
02:39:57,640 --> 02:40:01,680
Speaker 3: short rotations, where you've got on if guys are gonna

2977
02:40:01,680 --> 02:40:03,480
Speaker 3: be able to make shots like Jason Tatum did he

2978
02:40:03,520 --> 02:40:06,880
Speaker 3: did in Game six if need be, I'm curious if

2979
02:40:07,000 --> 02:40:09,959
Speaker 3: on what the shot making ability will be if it's close.

2980
02:40:10,000 --> 02:40:11,240
Speaker 3: I just don't think it's going to be close. I

2981
02:40:11,280 --> 02:40:13,560
Speaker 3: think Boston wins and we get a rematch of the

2982
02:40:13,600 --> 02:40:14,720
Speaker 3: East Finals from last year.

2983
02:40:14,720 --> 02:40:16,480
Speaker 2: I think when we just get down to it, you've

2984
02:40:16,480 --> 02:40:19,720
Speaker 2: got more guys potentially to make a shot in Boston

2985
02:40:19,760 --> 02:40:22,000
Speaker 2: and give you that lift. Like we were talking about

2986
02:40:22,000 --> 02:40:24,680
Speaker 2: finding the third guy for the Lakers. You've got Brogden,

2987
02:40:24,720 --> 02:40:27,240
Speaker 2: You've got Al Horford. You've got guys that can step

2988
02:40:27,360 --> 02:40:30,120
Speaker 2: up into that spotlight. Marcus Smart can give you a

2989
02:40:30,160 --> 02:40:34,080
Speaker 2: twenty five point game on occasion. As we wrap things up,

2990
02:40:34,480 --> 02:40:37,800
Speaker 2: thank the crew of course Ethan and Sam our guy

2991
02:40:37,879 --> 02:40:42,600
Speaker 2: Isaac lowgrown on the updates. Happy Mother's Day to all

2992
02:40:42,640 --> 02:40:47,560
Speaker 2: those however, you're celebrating those with us those that you can't.

2993
02:40:47,600 --> 02:40:50,440
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of my late uncle who used to run

2994
02:40:50,440 --> 02:40:53,760
Speaker 2: around yelling everybody's a mother sometimes. But you brought up

2995
02:40:53,760 --> 02:40:56,080
Speaker 2: both the Bucks and Celtics, kind of tying that together.

2996
02:40:56,440 --> 02:41:00,240
Speaker 2: Just always remember the Bulls beating the Bucks at one point,

2997
02:41:00,440 --> 02:41:03,440
Speaker 2: and my drunken uncle leading the chorus of Beat Boston

2998
02:41:04,000 --> 02:41:07,720
Speaker 2: in an NBA Playoffs run. Richard Steve coming up next

2999
02:41:07,760 --> 02:41:08,640
Speaker 2: here on Fox
