10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios where. Uh, sometimes the

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: Tanner Scott experience is not for everyone. And by everyone

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean Dodger fans. Well except for Onan Soto. It's

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: it with the experience. We overwhelmed and overpowered him. This

14
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: is why, this is why I said show, Hey, Tani

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: needs to close for the Dodgers when he can pitch again.

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: Don't pretend you didn't hear what Mike said about Sodo. There.

17
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: It's okay. It's not okay, you hid seven hundred and

18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: fifty million. No, it's okay, and we're fifteen games over five. Yeah,

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: but you got goner Scott. Okay, hang on We're fifteen

20
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: games over five hundred one, So what about all the

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: other guys that can have the hit stick. It doesn't matter. Okay,

22
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: we recognize that he's not good. But now this just

23
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: demonstrated that one Sodo right now is going worse. Okay,

24
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: So but that's okay, right, I mean it'll be in November.

25
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: I'll be saying it'll be okay, it's over, the season's over.

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: It's okay, next place, it's okay. Look, here's the thing

27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: about here's the thing about Soda, right, And we talked

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: about this, which on Paul Morosi a little bit right,

29
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: Mets leave the Dodgers right now, four to bottom of attending.

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: For some reason, Jose Castillo is in for the Mets.

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't know why a guy with the seven to

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: twenty e ra is in to try to close out this,

33
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: I know. But anyway, you guys, here's a did we did.

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: We did, but it wasn't coors Field. He's not as

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: good away from course. So here's the thing about Wan Soda. Right,

36
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: everybody's everywhere about Wuan Sota, and David Ortiz has opinions.

37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: Everybody's got opinions about about Jan Soda Soda will be

38
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: okay when right, I can't just say he's gonna be

39
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: okay Ave. He'll be okay when when he get when

40
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: he realizes the new norm of the fact that everybody's

41
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: not gonna universally love him like they did for the

42
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: last six years. Right, Soda was someone who hears all

43
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: the booze. He likes to play with the fans all

44
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: he love. He's one of those people that always is

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: are worried and concerned and knows about the image that

46
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: he has and what people think of him. And for

47
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: six years he was always my goodness. When this guy

48
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: gets to free agency, everybody wanted him. Everybody just drooled

49
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: at his at his power. Uh World Series with the Nationals.

50
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, he's gonna be the guy

51
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: that brings the Padres into the World Series. And the

52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: Padres got nervous, we're gonna lose him for nothing, so

53
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: they deal him. He goes to the Yankees. Everybody, youversely

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: love one Soto, love his talent, right, that's the thing.

55
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: But now he signed for seven hundred and sixty five

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: million dollars, and things change. The perception of you changes.

57
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: Now twenty nine teams hate you, and your fan base

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: loves you because when you sign for that money, you

59
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: become a target. People want to see you fail. They

60
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 1: outwardly want to see you fail. Usually with an MLB star.

61
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't really care about a guy failing or not

62
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: failing unless it affects my team in the standings. But

63
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: everybody wants to see lots of people want to see

64
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: he wants to Soto fail because of the seven hundred

65
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: and sixty five million dollar price tag, right, That's how

66
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: it goes. But you know what, dude, you wanted the money.

67
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: This is where it is. You got to deal with that.

68
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: You got to live with the fact that people aren't

69
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: going to like you and that you're going to be

70
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: more polarizing than you ever have been in your career.

71
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: And when you understand that then it'll be okay. But

72
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: so much of it it's all just mental with him

73
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: now and where he sits with his status in the league,

74
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: and once he becomes that guy who was Okay, I understand,

75
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: people are going to say stuff, I'm not gonna win

76
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: everybody over. Okay, Okay, now I'm good. It's my new

77
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: normal for the next fifteen years because this is what

78
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: seven hundred and sixty five million dollars means this is

79
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: what it does to you. Yeah, until the next guy

80
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: signs for more. Then you get off the hook a bit. Right.

81
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: It's like every bad contract by an NFL quarterback until

82
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: the next guy signed. Then he becomes the target of

83
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: everybody's hate. Right. Matt Stafford's contract was the worst thing

84
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: in the world. Well, then this guy got signed. Trevor

85
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence's contract was the word. Well, now it's brought brock

86
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: perty holds the mantle till the next contract gets signed, right,

87
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: because so many people he's a polarizing force. Is he great?

88
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: Is he a product of a system? All of that

89
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: decided where you are on that continuum. For Juan Soto,

90
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: you left the Yankees, you got this huge money, and

91
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: then you get the the silo and the cacophony of

92
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: voices talking about you know, well, the family wanted this,

93
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: and he wanted this, and well the only reason he

94
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: left and he left Aaron Judge, one of the most

95
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: beloved characters in the game. Right, so it becomes a

96
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: well he turned his back on that and went across

97
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: town for just a little bit more money. And it's

98
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: the Mets Yeah, look, that's just that's just how It's

99
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: just funny because you're in an era where maybe you

100
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: got it as many people hate the Mets without winning

101
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: as they do the Yankees just for for this. But yeah,

102
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: whenever you've got the biggest contract, the microscope is there

103
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to deal with it. And right

104
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: now he's not hitting his way out of it, which

105
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: means it gets deeper. And now that the Knicks are done,

106
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: guess what, there's more space on the back of the

107
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: fish wrap for the next two months before the Jets

108
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: and Giants get to camp. More his sucking than his

109
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: contract by people hate him. He makes it very easy

110
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: by sucking for people to make the same. But at

111
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: the same time, yeah, it's like, oh, he always he's

112
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: always hits. He's gonna be fun. But looking at looking

113
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: at him playing like he's hitting some balls, I'm like,

114
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: how is he not square that ball up? Right? It's

115
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: it's in his head where he's still not comfortable with

116
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: where he is. You'd think seven hundred and fifty million

117
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: dollars your swing would be great. You think if you

118
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: think it would be awesome, right, I think it'd be fantastic.

119
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: But but sometimes some guys can't tune that can't tune

120
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: stuff out. And I knew that it was affecting him

121
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: when you looked at the Yankees series where it was

122
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: such a big deal where he got booed going back

123
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: to the stadium. I don't think he was ever really,

124
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't think ever really got over that. And and

125
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: and that's and and that's part of think he one

126
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: day he's got to at some point he will at

127
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: some point. If he doesn't, at some point he will, well,

128
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean he's got to talk to Freddy Freeman. Fred

129
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: he can actually hit me. I cried about now was

130
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: I was in Atlanta and Clayton Curses said, well, I

131
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: hope he's happy here with us. I'm Freddy Freeman got over.

132
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: It was the Holy Fam can hit, right, But Soda

133
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: will get over at events. Sometimes it takes a little

134
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: bit more time. Okay, everything is fine. He's he'll be

135
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: fifteen years and seven hundred and fifty six million dollars

136
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: to figure out year by year fourteen. If he's not hitting,

137
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you he's no. He's good. He's gonna hit

138
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: at some point, right, he's going to hit. I just

139
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: don't know when that's gonna be. I'm no longer saying

140
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen next week. It's gonna but at some

141
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: point he's going to hit. So okay, and while we're

142
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: fifteen games over five hundred, I'm okay with that. If

143
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: we were fifteen games under five right, I would say,

144
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: what the hell has happened? What are we doing? But

145
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: we're fifteen games over got the second best record in baseball.

146
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: I think we can deal with Juan Soto not hitting

147
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: a little bit long. Yeah, but that's the best part

148
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: of it, because what happens when they actually had he

149
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: has to press, when there is actually wade on the

150
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: advats versus no. I'll tell you as as see How

151
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: I Die insess As my gym teacher freshman and sophomore

152
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: year high school, mister Williams would always say, that's a

153
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: story for another day. I really hoped he had a

154

Speaker 1: better servitor. That's the story, Charlie Williams. Yeah, he's Charlie Williams.

155
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: He said, that's a story for another day. That Charlie

Speaker 1: Williams like he would tell you, He would tell you

157
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: something like he would give you some kind of crazy

158
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: thing like and then and then there's the top when

159
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: the fire department showed up here at school and escorted

160
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: the two teachers out. What but that's a story for

161
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: another day. No, no, No, that's a story for right now.

162
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: What you mean that's a story for another day? Drugs

163
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: like he would be he would be telling a different story.

164
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: It's say, and then the police came. You know who

165
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: was in the back of that car. Let's just say

166
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: he's a principal. Now that's a story for another day.

167
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: That's either mister mackew from South Park or it's the

168
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: opening to an episode of Red Shoe Diary. I don't

169
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: know which way we're going. You guys played dodgeball with

170
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: mister hat. No, we stopped playing dodgeball in middle school.

171
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: I love dodgeball, but you know, we didn't do it.

172
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: High school was always just the teacher would take attendance

173
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: and you would change into your shorts. You would hang

174
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: out in the bleachers for you know, for what I

175
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: thought he was going to say, they didn't know how

176
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: to inflate a ball back then. No, no, no, The

177
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: last time we really had to do stuff in Jim

178
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: was middle school, and it was done dodgeball was great

179
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: because I was now and I'm not saying I tell

180
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: you how good I was in hockey and softball. Come

181
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: on with hands, I'll say, no, no, no, no. Here's the thing.

182
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't throw the ball really well because the dodgeball

183
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: was too big for my hand. But I was the

184
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: best dodge I don't know that there's ever been in

185
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: the history of dodgeball a better catcher at dodgeballs than me.

186
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: Because the guys in the and the other classes could

187
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: just sling it and the ball would hiss and I

188
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: would catch it and they'd be out of the game,

189
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: like what the hell just happened? Like I was. I

190
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: was so good. Did the hands or did you bring

191
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: it into the bottom?

192
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: No?

193
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: No, no, I'd catch it. It would hit my stomach and

194
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: I would catch it and hold it there, catch it

195
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: in your mouth like a big mac. There was one time,

196
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: there was one time. I'll tell you this. Seventh grade, Okay,

197
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: Darrence Gillard, Right, Darrence Gillard. He was the best athlete

198
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: in school and he could throw it. And he would

199
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: throw the ball and everybody would just back out of

200
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: the way because he and on me. The ball would

201
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: hiss when it would go speedball. By I mean it

202
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: would it would his it would hit. It would go

203
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: so hard it would hit the wall behind you, and

204
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: people would get out of the way because bouncing back

205
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: if it hit you, it was really big. Butt hit

206
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: the wall and came back. If it's the wall, it

207
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: does nothing. A great strategy. And he could throw. And

208
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: I remember one time in seventh grade and it was

209
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: getting down to the end, and of course he's in

210
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: it near the end, and he was just and he could,

211
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: like I said, so he throws. I'm like okay, and

212
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: I knew and they knew that I could catch really well,

213
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: and now you were blind, and he knew he had

214
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: to get me out, and he knew he had to

215
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: get me out. And he throws one. And of course

216
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: there's like two girls in front, and they dive out

217
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: of the way, and I'm like, oh my god. And

218
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: it comes to me and I catch it, and it

219
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: knocks me back into the water fountain, like the water

220
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: fountain sticking out of the back, and I catch it

221
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: and I hold on and I hit the water fountain

222
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: and like my eyes blur for a second, but I

223
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: hold onto the ball, and they're like, oh my god.

224
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: He called, my god, it he's out and he's going, oh,

225
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: he couldn't believe I caught it. And I get up

226
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like ready to throw and I do the

227
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: cool thing like yeah, I don't need to throw me

228
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: to give it to somebody else, And I give it

229
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: to the person. I'm going, I can't bend over it.

230
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: Go go throw it, go throw it. And I had

231
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: a bruise on my back for so long and my

232
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: mom saw it like a week later, Go, when did

233
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: that happen? I go, last week? She was, Why didn't

234
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: you tell me last week? You could have had this spleen?

235
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: Could have butted? I go, yeah, I could have, but

236
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: I got Darren's out. It was really good, mom. I

237
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: caught it and it knocked me back in the water fountain.

238
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: I always liked that. Randomly, when you'd get injured, suddenly

239
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: someone would know something about a spleen. Yeah, because they

240
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: heard that I was a nurse. Was a nurse. Yeah,

241
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: but the spleen coming. Yeah, it was taste my spleen.

242
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: I mean because that was off of married with children now, Bundy,

243
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: I still remember that. The girls Dijanet Myers and Alison

00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: Bruno dove out of the remember all these people because

245
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: it was a big play day, talked to me about

246
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: it for the weed in general, if you stack the

247
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: cash in front of me and said name people from

248
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: your your grade school class, like school has been disbanded.

249
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: I don't remember any of these people. I went to

250
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: school with both them through high school, so I knew

251
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: them and they dove out of the way to But

252
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: that like, for a week on the player, I was

253
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: like a hero. They were like, let's see if you

254
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: can catch mine. I'm no, I don't want I'm not

255
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: gonna do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm

256
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: not going to do it. I'd say I saved my

257
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: heroics for the gym you catch. But that was.

258
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 3: That.

259
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: I was still I was only like five one. What

260
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: I was only like five? Girls didn't let no, I

261
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: needed to get I need to get to the big

262
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,599
Speaker 1: hulking five seven, five eight. I was through most of

263
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: high school before I peaked at five nine In college,

264
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: height is just a number, yeah, but not when in

265
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: seventh grade. Now, when you do that, you gotta be uh, well, now,

266
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: if you're if you're shorter than most girls, technically they're

267
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: gonna say Yeah, that's great, you're the funny guy. But

268
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: I like so and so because he's six one or

269
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: he's what. Yeah, no, you got seventh grade with middle school.

270
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: It's not anybody's friend, really middle school. But middle school

271
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: really was not my friend when it came to that. Now, dodgeball,

272
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: I was great. I mean some legendary status. Like if

273
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: dodgeball like is a thing now, like if I could

274
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: be the designated catcher, like I would because I just

275
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: knew I could get people out, I would get people out,

276
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: and that's how it would go. Like I was that good.

277
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: I was just that good. I couldn't throw. And I

278
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: even went to a point where I'm like, what if

279
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: I just held the ball on the crook of my

280
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: arm and tried to throw it put like a high

281
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: line or like a highlight. Yeah, no, I was really good, man,

282
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: I was really catch And then that's the thing is

283
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: like watching watching Dodgeball the movie, I'm like, that's not

284
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: any of the rules, Like you can't you can't just

285
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: hold on to it. You we don't play with multiple ball,

286
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: But what the hell is this? Man? Man against everything?

287
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: I was a purist man. I was a dodgeball purist.

288
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: The red kickball. That was it. This took it to

289
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: a next level. Man, I did, Man, I did, and

290
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: I was grabbed telling you I was great. I was outstanding.

291
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: Couldn't throw what chapter never learned how to fit, never

292
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: could throw. Like every time I would throw, I would

293
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: always throw it like right in front of somebody who

294
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: could catch, like at their feet to try to get

295
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: them to dive because they wouldn't catch it. But I

296
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: could never throw it straight because I I they would.

297
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: It would be an easy catch. The worst worst dodgeball

298
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: person on the team would catch it because I just

299
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: couldn't hold the ball well enough to throw it. Now

300
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: seems like you could spend some time to figure that out.

301
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Baseball or softball, I could throw like seventy I could,

302
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: But the dodgeball I just couldn't do it. Man, you

303
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: could probably I probably could. Hey Frostburg, my internet's down.

304
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: Can you tell me how the Mets Dodgers game ended?

305
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: I missed it on the TV. What happened down to?

306
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: So?

307
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: I can't? Oh? Really? Okay? Do we need to go

308
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: to Steve for for nothing? How did the Mets Dodgers

309
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: game end? Can you tell me, Harmon? I missed it.

310
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: Keep telling me the Mets Dodgers game ended. I missed

311
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: it the mound, Oh okay, staring down, staring him down

312
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: the whole way. It's like, how dare you that that

313
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: ball was supposed to have eyes back up the middle?

314
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: On Tommy Edmund bobblehead night, he grounds out to the

315
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: picture with a tying run on second Mets win Mets

316
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: when he that's okay, I get a small measure of

317
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: revenge for the ten hits, ten runs, ten RBIs from

318
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: the NLCS last year. That's all right, like a small measure,

319
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: small tiny measure. Really sad end to Bobblehead night, though,

320
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: I think it's okay. It's an okay night for me.

321
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: Were there any gold? You gotta be a Tommy Edmund bobblehead?

322
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: Ye oh? Target practice? No, no, no, it's fine, I could okay,

323
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: I'd be heard. It was met with love, all right.

324
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: So so we got through the family, We got through this,

325
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: and I got to with my dodgeball glory days, patches

326
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: of hula hand dodger wrench dodgeball. But coming up next,

327
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: can we find any of these people to corroborate these stories?

328
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: I just gave you Janet Myers and Alison Bruno can

329
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: carry Chapman, Mike Smilowitz, Steve Engel. You think I'm making

330
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: up these days, I would say many Randall, Tom Houseman,

331
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: Jerry Kuzman. I just give you old Mets. I caught

332
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: this guy, Willie randolphs ball. Let's see interim school principal.

333
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: But coming up next, we get into the biggest NFL

334
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: story of the day where a high profile coach opens

335
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: his mouth and he really shouldn't have. That's next Mets.

336

Speaker 1: Mike Harmon es. We'll get to Dion Sanders in a second. However,

341
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: we are this much closer to MLB history Francisco Lindor

342
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: Homers for the Mets. Tonight. Mets hold on to beat

343
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: the Dodgers four to three and ten innings, make it

344
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: twenty seven straight games that the Mets have won since

345
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor Win Francisco Lindor Homers. Right, heames back to

346
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: the middle of last year, the Mets have won twenty

347
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: seven straight games in which he is homered in. The

348
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: all time record is twenty nine. Carl Ferrillo back with

349
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Dodgers in the fifties, Dodgers won twenty nine

350
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: games in a row in which he hit a home run.

351
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: Lindor is too shy of that. After tonight's game and

352
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: making everybody sweat hitting the top of the first with

353
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: nobody on, like, okay, a lot of golf left. But

354
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: Mets hold on to win twenty seven straight games they

355
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: have won. That means Jason the home run, you know

356
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: what that means? What's that the Mets have to win

357
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: two more games in which he hits a home run.

358
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: It's not likely two more games the rest of the year. Well,

359
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: he's just saying they don't wait in games unless he

360
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: hold on. I'm so he's got a hover these next

361
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: time time. But let me let me take a look,

362
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: because you know, I really I want to make sure

363
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm up to speed on this. I want to

364
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: take a look at the standings in Major League Baseball

365
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: and just see where the Mets are, what their record is,

366
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: and what the Dodgers record is. A second would look

367
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: at the SNS so June thirty eight and twenty two,

368
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: Dodgers thirty six and twenty four. So the Mets have

369
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: one more games, and the Mets have won what three

370
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: out of four against the Dodgers. Now in the last week,

371
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: three out of four. We know we hang a banner.

372
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: We beat this Dodgers team, like like five out of

373
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: seven week we hang a banner. We had July fourth,

374
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: we hang that banner. Beat the Dodgers in the season,

375
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: sire hot dogs for all, get your free Mets won

376
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: five of seven from the Dodgers. Your own fireworks, well,

377
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean they canceled them last Friday. Things went too late,

378
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: potential for inclement weathers and no fireworks. What if I

379
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,719
Speaker 1: bought it because of the fireworks display? That's okay, What

380
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: if I wanted all of that kind of stuff? I

381
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: got nothing. Best record in the National League now, best

382
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: record and we can't even play highlights. So your best

383
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: player because he has none? It does what Francesco Lindorza,

384
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: that's got to be the plans that ground out. Get

385
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: Patrick on that. No, no, no, just because just because

386
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: you're getting paid a lot of money doesn't mean you're

387
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: the best playing player, just like it. Just like in

388
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: radio and television, just because you're successful doesn't mean you're

389
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: any good at what you do. Okay, just understand what

390
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: the paychecks. I don't care if it's not my money.

391
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: Harmon's been saying that for ten not my money. I

392
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: don't care. It's not my money. Steve Cohen's not calling

393
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: me up, going, hey, I only made thirty seven million

394
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: dollars this morning? By noon? Do we have to continue

395
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: help me out a little bit here? That that is

396
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: the grand thing though when it comes to sports, right,

397
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: unless you can prove to me that it precluded you

398
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: from making a move that would help your roster substantively.

399
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: And this is where we get into salary cats, hard caps,

400
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: these aprons. In the end, whatever else, there are some

401
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: some rules and mechanisms in place. Otherwise it's a figure

402
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: it out right. Smooth out the money, work with the agents,

403
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: work with the players, and take care of it. Like

404
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna cry when a guy gets paid a

405
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: bunch of money, because telling me then you can't keep

406
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 1: these other ten guys like no, especially in the NFL,

407
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: like eighty percent of your roster, you're paying nothing so

408
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: don't tell me these five guys screwed over the rest

409
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: of theirs. Not the way it works, that's just the

410
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: way rosters are constructed. But anyway, for one Soto, the

411
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: long long road. Yeah, two months have been fairly miserable. Sure,

412
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: I hope he's all right, but certainly stuff. The other

413
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: thing is when we look at these scheduled the fact

414
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: that you say, hey, they want three out of four

415
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: and whatever. They've still not played the Padres. That's okay, Okay,

416
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: the Dodgers twice. It's okay, we got the Dodgers twice

417
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: saying it's June. And then the Dodgers having him played

418
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: in the division. Okay, it's dumb. They'll get there. It'll

419
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: get there, It'll get the hundred and six. Two games

420
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: will happen. Yeah, Frostburg, is it every June second where

421
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: you hang the standing matter? Uh? No, we'll like it.

422
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 1: Usually June is not our best month. But you know,

423
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm up for June being a better month this year.

424
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: But that's why you do it at the beginning, because

425
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: it's not should we put out a little flag pole

426
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: out front of the studio so he could hang, so

427
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: he could go out there and raise his little flag

428
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: down one two out of three. We did it, everybody.

429
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: We did it. Now speaking of doing it, Dion Sanders

430
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: did it today. Oh we shouldn't have. Look this is

431
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: this falls under the category of what I've been saying

432
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: for the last ten years. Right. There's very few tenants

433
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: or things I subscribe to as a rule, because things

434
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: change over time, and certain things it was a good

435
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,719
Speaker 1: idea ten years ago or something that was correct one

436
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time ten years ago, maybe fifty

437
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: percent of the time. Now there's very tenants that existed

438
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: the entire time that the last twenty years I've been

439
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: doing sports talk radio. But one of them is this,

440
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: and I say it all the time. We say it

441
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: a few times a year. The next time an athlete's

442
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: family member or significant other gets involved in their career,

443
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: will and it's a good thing, will be the first

444
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: time that happens. Because every single time go back, every

445
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: not just becomes a person I like, look like Mama

446
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: Kelsey has been fine and Don of McNabb's mom was

447
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: great when she was on the you know, in the

448
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: super commercials. Congratulations to Josh Allen on getting married to

449
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: the star of Sinners and the mcu Hailey Steffeld. But

450
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: the Ring, We're gonna kill every single one of you.

451
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: But was the Ring cursed? Remember the Rain? Oh yeah, yeah,

452
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: sure sure. So like we were talking about the Madden curse,

453
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: is the Rain curse? Is that the wedding? Jason uh No,

454
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Rodinson, Jets, Larry David, Larry Davis that

455
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: the wedding? Really? Oh wow? He skipped the Knicks game

456
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: to go tripped to Josh Allen going down. I can

457
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: charge to trip you because all Win Mooregan Jets killed

458
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: Carl so he became the I gotta wash my hands again.

459
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: The next time a family member significant other gets involved

460
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: in someone's in an athlete's career and it's a good thing,

461
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: will be the first time because it never happens. It's

462
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: always bad news for the athlete. And Deon Sanders did

463
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: it again. Today. He goes on a podcast with the

464
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: Sante Samuels got a weekly podcast, and he decided now

465
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: was the time to start talking about Hey, I disagree

466
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: with all the stories that were out there about Shador

467
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 1: Sanders that he showed up to all the pre draft

468
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: meetings not ready. He came into a couple of meetings

469
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: with headphones on and around his head. Because Shador Sanders

470
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: falls to the fifth round. One of the main reasons

471
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: is that all the pre draft visits that he had,

472
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: teams didn't like how he presented himself. Now, Deon Sanders

473
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: decided to say today in the podcast with the Sante

474
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: Samuel that he doesn't believe any of that stuff happened

475
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: when it went on.

476
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 3: I know it was a lot of rumors about the

477
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 3: next level. I can't see that. Yeah, I can get

478
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 3: the next level. I think a couple of people who

479
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 3: may have taken shot to my kids, they.

480
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: Were afraid that I would go.

481
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 3: That's what the shots came from.

482
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is just sit back and listen.

483
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: Anyoe don't want to do that.

484
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 3: They want to create these narratives and create these stories

485
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: and then attach them to a kid that ain't never

486
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 3: done nothing wrong.

487
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, how does that make you feel? When you see

488
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: your colleges, are you going in on you?

489
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 5: Man?

490
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 2: Like?

491
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: How does that make you feel? Idea? Man, you have

492
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: no idea.

493
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 3: We've always been in front of the camera, so they

494
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 3: know how to navigate, they know how to handle themselves,

495
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: and you're not gonna catch them in no fool, red

496
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: and no mess. You're not when you sit up there

497
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: and say something like he went in a meeting unprepared,

498
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 3: like dude, your door saying us, who's had six different coordinators,

499
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: who has still function and went up, leveled up every

500
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: time we brought somebody new in. And you're gonna tell.

501
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: Me every situation.

502
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: You're gonna tell me he had on headphone through you

503
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: a dog, your kids a dog, and dogs gonna always

504
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 2: rise to the top, you know what I mean.

505
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: That's what I believe.

506
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

507
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: It did hurt.

508
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: The Bible says God uses the foolish things to confound

509
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: the wise. So it was some foolish stuff that went on,

510
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: but you know what, that that gave them something.

511
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: That they needed. Okay, first things first, if none of

512
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: this happened, we would have known this by now. It

513
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: would have come up during the pre draft visits because

514
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: Deon Sanders would have wanted to stop this narrative about Shador.

515
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: But it did not. And to say it now after

516
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, really, I don't think people

517
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: are making stuff up, right, I don't think. I don't

518
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: think people are and and the reason this was a

519
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: bad idea is look, I get that. I've heard all today.

520
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: I've heard the different points. You know, Dion is either

521
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: talking like he's Shaudor's dad and he's and he's trying

522
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: to protect him. And I understand all of this. But again,

523
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: go back to what I said a couple of minutes ago.

524
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: Whenever somebody's parent, significant other, wife, husband gets involved in

525
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: their career, it's never good. It's never good. And all

526
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: Deon Sanders has done now is ramped up this story

527
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 1: that oh, Shador had issues and there's a reason why

528
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: he was taken in the fifth round right because it

529
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: was done. He's in Browns camp. And what did I

530
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: say last week? What was the big thing, the biggest

531
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: thing I could say to Shador Sanders right now? Be

532
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: about football. Don't worry about the rolls roy stuff. Keep

533
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing. Be about football, because if you're

534
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: about football, when it comes time in the fall, you

535
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: will be backing up Joe Flacco. And if you don't

536
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: win the job out right by October, you will step

537
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,719
Speaker 1: in because people will want to see you play, right,

538
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: if you have that talent, Just be about football. But no,

539
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: here's Deon Sanders bringing up the knuckleheaded stuff again. That

540
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything to help shod Door Sanders, because you

541
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: know what happens now. Now this story is back in

542
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: back in the limelight where people, oh, yeah, remember all

543
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: the stuff that happened Shador had headphones on. People didn't

544
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: like it. Now teams are going to defend themselves and

545
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, no, this absolutely happened. We have video

546
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: of him walking in with a pair of headphones, or

547
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: we have video of him not liking when we asked

548
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: him to break down a series of plays. He didn't

549
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: like that, we put him on the spot. All he's

550
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: doing is making these stories come up again, right, And

551
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: why is this a big deal? Because yes, it takes

552
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: away from the focus on the field. And a bigger

553
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: deal is that now if Shador centers. Let's say he

554
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: doesn't win the job and he's a fifth round pick,

555
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: and the Browns decide, if you're not winning the job,

556
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna let you go. Right, We're gonna go with

557
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: Flacco and Dylan Gabriel and whatever it is. I can't

558
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: believe they're gonna do, but just in case it happens,

559
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: Right now, what are you worried about now that your

560
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: son has to latch on someplace else. But instead of hey,

561
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: he was all about football for the offseason in the

562
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: training camp. What happened when he was still playing? Oh

563
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: we got that story again. Dion steps up and he

564
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: says stuff about his son and you know what, Yeah,

565
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: we can get another fifth round pick that was cut

566
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: to come in and be a developmental quarterback. All he's

567
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: doing is hurting the optic of Shador Sanders. He's hurting

568
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: him trying to win the job with the Browns now

569
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: and he's also taking his long term prospects and hurting

570
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: them because if he's got to go someplace else, teams

571
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: are gonna go, whoa, we backed off this guy in

572
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: the because of all the knuckleheaded stuff. And Dion Sanders

573
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: is the biggest sports dad, right. Remember Dion was there

574
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: as teams I don't want him to go to Well

575
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: guess what, some of those teams maybe looking for a

576
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: quarter but they're gonna say we don't want him because

577
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: you come along with it. Right. So now he's hurt

578
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: his present and he could potentially have hurt his future.

579
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: He just has to stay. I get it. I understand

580
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: you want to be there, but your son's in the NFL.

581
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: Now you know what the NFL is. You got to

582
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: back off and let things go. All you've done with

583
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: bringing this up again is bring up a storyline that

584
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders wants to move past so we can win

585
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: a job in the National Football League. Well, because the

586
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: father's son's success in Colorado had its level of romanticism

587
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: to it, right of let's let's go through because there's

588
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: always just that question of helicopter parenting, hindering versus help

589
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: and whatever else and success. Now the fact that he

590
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: points out and look, he's succeeded even though we had

591
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: six different offensive coordinators, Like, let me probe that a

592
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: little bit more. That's that's the fault. What happened in

593
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: each of those circumstances to necessitate shuffling out to a

594
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: new guy just asking questions? Right, if you're going through

595
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: guys at that rate, that means there's philosophically you didn't

596
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: find common ground with six different guys. Is that you

597
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: is that Chador some combination between right, that's the question

598
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: that that comment begets. But to your point, Shador's in camp,

599
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: the initial reports were glowing, Right, people couldn't fall over

600
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: their keyboard fast enough to talk about how well he

601
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 1: was performing in seven on seven's and look at him

602
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: throwing against air. He's a wizard, all of those things.

603
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: So it's all positive reviews. It's all you know, fun

604
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: and Flacco saying I'm not here to mentor you know,

605
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: doing one of those bits. I'm trying to play as

606
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: long as I can. So you get this little built

607
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: up rivalry thing that could come into camp and it's

608
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: a positive story about going out and winning the job,

609
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: and now this squirrels in. Now. The other part that

610
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: this hurts is the fact that, really for football related purposes,

611
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: you've got rag Now's retirement kind of a big deal, right,

Speaker 1: big time contributor and the lynchpin and like centerpiece of

613
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: that Detroit attitude and offensive line. That's a big loss.

614
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: Okay for football purpose. The only other thing getting oxygen

615
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,040

616

Speaker 1: Met's mets for Dodgers three, Met's four Dodger Street just okay,

699
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: you can turn Jason's Mike on. Steph Curry has shown

700
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: that in the NBA can pretty much do anything he

701
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: wants to. Whoever. I'm going to say, resist the temptation

702
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: of what you want to do when you're playing days right.

703
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say, make a shot

704
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 1: in a critical moment at the end of the game. No, no,

705
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: not make a shot. Get a shot off at the

706
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: end of the game. Because he can't get his own

707
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: shot off. There's one basketball. But today, Steph was on

708
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: CNBC doing an interview earlier in the day and it

709
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: ended with a really interesting thing. It's kind of gained

710
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: a lot of attention is that he was asked, Hey,

711
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: when you're playing days over, do you see yourself potentially

712
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: becoming a broadcaster? And this is what Steph Curry had

713
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: to say, day you retire from basketball, every studio show

714
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: is going to ask you to join their show. Would

715
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: you consider doing that? Oh?

716
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: For sure, I've seen guys. You know, some of your

717
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 2: peers have gone through it. You know a lot of

718
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 2: x NBA guys who are behind the booth. Now, whether

719
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 2: it's commentating, whether it's in studio. You've seen what Tom.

720
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: Brady's doings going to do it the day he retires.

721
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: To Draymond's already got his past set up. I would

722
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: be more patient. I think about what would be the

723
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: right opportunity for me, because anything that I do, I

724
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 2: want to be all in on it. And right now,

725
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: just doing your homework on, like you said, the different

726
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 2: pathways and options that might be available.

727
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: So they're only a two seater boat again, different from

728
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: the Stefon Diggs boat video just a little bit, a

729
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: little bit. So well we're talking about famous boat videos.

730
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: Lots of folks just figuring out who and what is

731
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: a CARDI b right about that, and they're saying, where

732
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: if you've been Steph Curry, resist this impulse to be

733
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: on television. You are too nice for NBA broadcasting, all right.

734
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: NBA broadcasters and analysts and athletes that have jumped into

735
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: behind the microphone, they are killers, man, They are absolute

736
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: killers on the air. They go after people, they start,

737
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: they start back and force they provide content Like these guys,

738
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. They are out there not

739
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 1: caring what people say about them. And here's the thing.

740
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: To be very successful what you do, you gotta be

741
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: okay with being polarizing. And all these guys that are

742
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: out there are polarizing. Whether it's Shack or Barkley or

743
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: Draymond Green who's doing stuff now, or Kendrick Perkins, all

744
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: of these guys are killers. Man. They go out there.

745
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: I don't care what if someone's gonna text me about

746
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: what I say. If you suck, I'm gonna tell you

747
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: suck if you did this, and then I'm gonna tell

748
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: you that. Steph is someone who enjoys and credible Q rate,

749
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: an incredible amount of popularity, who has a lot of

750
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: interest outside of the game of basketball. He's gonna show

751
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 1: up and really cut through and be somebody who's okay

752
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: with lighting guys up when they play badly, when they

753
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: play part. Is he gonna be that guy. He's not

754
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: gonna be that guy. Right, They'll be interested in him

755
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: right away. Oh with Steph will see what he has

756
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: to say. Look at Tom Brady this year, right, Brady's

757
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: got other interests outside of broadcast. Right, I'm the owner

758
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: of the Raiders. I'm doing all I got TV twelve. Yes,

759
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: I signed this big deal with Fox and Brady has

760
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: not been what was expected because either he's a little

761
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: too worried, still trying to find his broadcast voice, but

762
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: he's not overly critical. He doesn't tell great stories. And

763
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: you know the the sometimes stories that he told that

764
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: were a little bit on edge when he would do

765
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: a podcast once in a while, they're not here with

766
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: the broadcast. So that's why next year he's got to

767
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: really come with it, because this is what you expect

768
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: from guys. You gotta be okay with criticism. You gotta

769
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: be okay criticizing people in saying things. And Steph, are

770
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: you telling me he's gonna be that guy? He's not.

771
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: He's doing that's saying from from almost fame when Kate

772
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: Hudson tells William, you're too nice for rock and roll, Right, William,

773
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: you're too nice for rock and roll. You're too nice

774
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 1: for what it's going to be to make headlines every day. Again,

775
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: these are killers who are out there every day going

776
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: I am gonna light things up, and they become big

777
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: content drivers. And it is fun seeing these guys do

778
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: this on TV. Man, it is fun. Stuff's gonna come

779
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: out there and be that guy. I don't see it. Yeah,

780
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff when it becomes the veteran

781
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: players arguing about things, I have wonder if it's not,

782
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: like you know, some of those old debate shows. I'll

783
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 1: let you decide who might have been on either side

784
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: of the table where it's this side of w W

785
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: E k fabe, Like, all right, which side are you

786
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: taking on this one? No, you got to pick first?

787
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: Last time? How close are you to this guy? Not

788
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: very Okay, So I'll go after him so you can

789
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: defend him because he's a better friend to you. Like

790
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: that's how I feel a lot of those comed again,

791
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: do you know so and so?

792
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 3: No?

793
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: All right, that's cool. I don't worry about it. But but

794
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: I still but I don't doubt that in a lot

795
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: of these production meetings, like how close you did this guy?

796
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: And then when you have the thirty seconds of analysis,

797
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: notice which guy talks about a certain player and which

798
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: guy's just sitting there going Yeah, for Steph Curry, you're

799
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: gonna be front and center because you'd get the mega,

800
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 1: mega dollar deal, et cetera. I think it'd be fun

801
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: to pair him up with Draymond because you see that

802
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: you can get a word in edgewise or is dream.

803
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, you got all the you got everything

804
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: on the court. I'm gonna take charge right now. But

805
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: I can also see Steph going. I've been listening to

806
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: you for fifteen years. Let me tell you what you

807
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: punch guys out of pract I got years. Hey, if

808
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: you hadn't punched out Jordan Poole, we would have won

809
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: another ring if we could. You hadn't got yourself injected

810
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: all those years ago. The legend of Lebron that wouldn't

811
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: even be talking about having me all about me if

812
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: I maybe it's there, just don't like the circuit. If

813
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: I thought that could happen, I would agree with you.

814
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: But he's not gonna do that. Maybe he's just there.

815
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: And Ernie Johnson could be the guy that needle that

816
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: he's look you see you see that, don't look at

817
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: all sports. And this is the error we're in in

818
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: that in the last ten fifteen years. Okay, the hot

819
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: takes work. All the athletes coming out, they know we

820
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: gotta bring it, we gotta throw fire, right, that's how

821
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: you get noticed. And it's in most sports that's the way,

822
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: But in the NBA especially man, it is so much

823
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: fun seeing all these alphas go back and forth and

824
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: saying things, well, wait, do you see next year when

825
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: the inside the NBA, they're gonna be feuding with everybody

826
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: on ESP He'll be feuded with Stephen A. Smith and

827
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee. I'll be feuting with Linda Kohane. I'll be

828
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: footing with everybody just watching, not gonna care. Yeah, but again,

829
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: most of that seems more conflated and uh inflated for ratings,

830
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: qurating and headlines. Doesn't matter. You have That's what you

831
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: have to be if you're gonna cut through and not

832
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: be some steph what do you think? Well, Karl Anthony

833
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: Twns says he want to be an actor or a

834
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: cat had a tough series. We made a tough series.

835
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 4: Was terrible.

836
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: Defensively, you saw you hata know'll be screaming at him,

837
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: going dude, what are you doing? Like you gotta be

838
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: able to be okay with stuff like that? Is Steff

839
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: really gonna damage his reputation and damage that optic by

840
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: by real going after guys? But that's not stuff. But

841
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: that's the question, is it damaged or enhance it? The

842
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: other side all, he was the silence your assassin all

843
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: these years. That's a thirty five million dollar a year.

844
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,120
