Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Cavino and Rich and for the Great Dan Patrick.
Speaker 3: Day one of the Dan Patrick Hatrick Live from Mercedes
Speaker 3: Benz Studios.
Speaker 2: I'm Steve Cavino. That is Rich Davis. Good morning. I
Speaker 2: hope you had a.
Speaker 3: Great Valent Times weekend, Bopy, Hope you enjoyed some Russell stovers.
Speaker 3: Hope you enjoyed the NBA All Star Game? Was it
Speaker 3: SNL or Cobra kai that overshadowed the everything NBA All
Speaker 3: Star Game. We're taking your calls and your feedback now
Speaker 3: on Rich's NBA analogy. He's basically saying that there's no
Speaker 3: blueprint on what works and what doesn't work. But I
Speaker 3: hope you had a nice weekend of Steph Curry sort
Speaker 3: of weekend. He got the MVP, his second All Star
Speaker 3: Game MVP. The OG's got the win. We'll play some
Speaker 3: Shack Diesel trivia. But you want to explain again, Rich, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean it's evident that.
Speaker 4: In generally we like to think that we could tell
Speaker 4: people what they're interested in, what they like, what they
Speaker 4: gravitate towards networks.
Speaker 2: Do it.
Speaker 4: Podcasts, do it TV shows, movies, there's a sentiment that, oh,
Speaker 4: we know what the public wants, But a lot of
Speaker 4: times the public just tells you what they want. You
Speaker 4: can try to push a new artist, a new athlete,
Speaker 4: a new face of a company on the general public,
Speaker 4: but they could very well just be like, now, we
Speaker 4: don't like that, we like that. It's like the famous
Speaker 4: story of Happy Days. Fansie wasn't supposed to be the
Speaker 4: main character How I Met your Mother? It wasn't supposed
Speaker 4: to be about Barney Stinson.
Speaker 2: Did I do that?
Speaker 3: Tory Nichols wasn't supposed to be anything more than a
Speaker 3: quick cameo on Cobra Kai.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that same category as Fani.
Speaker 3: It's more relevant than Henry Winkler, even though I love him.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying the season premiere just wrapped up Tory.
Speaker 3: He's the main character of Cobra Kai.
Speaker 4: But it just shows you that, you know, like I said,
Speaker 4: Erkele Phonsie, these are not design the public decided. So
Speaker 4: you could say these are the new faces of our sport.
Speaker 4: But if the public doesn't gravitate towards them, if you,
Speaker 4: as the average NBA fan, what matchup you'd want in
Speaker 4: the NBA?
Speaker 2: Most people would say.
Speaker 4: Hold on, no, maybe like the Warriors are the Lakers
Speaker 4: because they're still hung up on Steph and Lebron and
Speaker 4: those older faces.
Speaker 3: I think, you know, I think if you're asking why
Speaker 3: is this because your point is valid. I think everybody
Speaker 3: and everything goes through transitional ups and downs, like transitional phases.
Speaker 3: We I think we were a little spoiled in the NFL,
Speaker 3: like when we got all these slew of new quarterbacks
Speaker 3: that made the transition easier. He's like, whoa wait a second,
Speaker 3: all these dudes are really good. I mean, we take
Speaker 3: guys and you embrace the new guys immediately. We say
Speaker 3: goodbye to.
Speaker 4: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and you know, Drew Brees and
Speaker 4: that crew of quarterbacks. But we also welcomed in Burrow Jackson,
Speaker 4: Josh Allen, like Jalen hurts that.
Speaker 3: So it's like the holidays when you're grown up. Remember
Speaker 3: when you were a kid, how great the holidays seemed.
Speaker 3: Then everybody grew up and no one had kids yet,
Speaker 3: so the holidays seemed boring because you were going through
Speaker 3: that transitional stage of life and family. All of a sudden,
Speaker 3: your sister started having kids, and there was kids back
Speaker 3: in the mix and the holidays got exciting again. You're like, oh, wow,
Speaker 3: their holidays are brack. I guess now we just got
Speaker 3: through that transitional stage. And maybe the NBA, well, all
Speaker 3: the changes they're making and all the changes they're forced
Speaker 3: to make, and thinking about the way the game has
Speaker 3: changed with three points and it's become boring, and Silver's
Speaker 3: trying to forg you out, well, how do we fix it?
Speaker 3: And a new format for the All Star Game. All
Speaker 3: these things are a little confusing to people. There's a
Speaker 3: new slew of characters that not everybody's embracing yet. It's
Speaker 3: just the transition. Other side, they'll be a moment in
Speaker 3: time where all of a sudden you're like, ah, I
Speaker 3: haven't I have another reason? Who's arguably the best Major
Speaker 3: League Baseball that's never sniffed the postseason for the most part.
Speaker 3: For the most part, Trout Mike Trout Right, you could
Speaker 3: argue you have maybe not the most personality plus guy.
Speaker 3: But you know what also takes a star like Mike
Speaker 3: Trout from being next level star never being relevant when
Speaker 3: it matters in the playoffs. Do you think maybe if
Speaker 3: the Spurs were more of an elite team had had
Speaker 3: more weapons and more, you know, more of a vibe
Speaker 3: around Wemby. Wemby to me is the most intriguing young star.
Speaker 3: But in a league where twenty of the thirty teams
Speaker 3: make the playoffs, they're still on the outside looking in.
Speaker 3: Is that a part of it too, where Danny, the
Speaker 3: biggest young star that might be the biggest quote attraction,
Speaker 3: isn't even on a playoff caliber team.
Speaker 5: Well, one of my favorite players in the league right
Speaker 5: now is Dearon Fox, and the Kings traded him to
Speaker 5: the Spurs. So the Spurs are trying to work on
Speaker 5: what you're talking about right now.
Speaker 2: I mean you can't.
Speaker 3: We're coming off of crazy highs of a great MLB
Speaker 3: season first time in a long time. But it backs
Speaker 3: up what I said, another exciting NFL season and then
Speaker 3: you're like NBA and you're trying to play catch up now.
Speaker 4: But no, but it goes back to what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Otani is the biggest star, but guess what he also did.
Speaker 4: The biggest star showed up on the biggest stage and
Speaker 4: that team won the World Series.
Speaker 3: I think once the I'm stating the obvious here, but
Speaker 3: once the playoffs are kicking in and you're seeing Lebron
Speaker 3: and Luca do their thing again. Big team, big national,
Speaker 3: nationwide team, not just here in LA with superstars that
Speaker 3: you recognize. When you see them competing with these younger
Speaker 3: dudes that you really don't know that well, you start
Speaker 3: kicking in and your fandom starts to kick in, and
Speaker 3: you start getting excited about it. Luke and Lebron, Stephen Draymond,
Speaker 3: like the names that you want to say. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: you're tuning into the NBA right after the NFL, right
Speaker 3: after Super Bowl. You all hyped up about the super Bowl,
Speaker 3: and then you're tuning into the NBA because it's all
Speaker 3: there is to tune into right as we approach All
Speaker 3: Star break. So that's kind of boring as a casual
Speaker 3: NBA fan.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Andy and Rhode Island. Andy, what is it?
Speaker 4: I mean, Andy, I don't want to talk about, Well,
Speaker 4: the NBA, it's a three pointers and.
Speaker 2: This and that. Andy.
Speaker 4: To me, it's just saying you just can't force what works. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you can't force you can't tell people what they like.
Speaker 6: No, absolutely, guys, and I feel that because you know,
Speaker 6: a lot of it kind of just goes back to
Speaker 6: Revision's history.
Speaker 7: Because you know, we can't really.
Speaker 6: See who's gonna be, you know, the next breakout generational
Speaker 6: players ahead of time, so we kind of just cling
Speaker 6: back to, you know, the guys that's still in the league,
Speaker 6: that have been doing it for so long, because I
Speaker 6: feel like a lot of it has to do with
Speaker 6: social media. We have so much access to these guys
Speaker 6: that in essen it's always on to the next with
Speaker 6: the current society that was living nowadays, and it's just
Speaker 6: so tricky because we want to embrace the new guys,
Speaker 6: but then I feel like a lot of these new
Speaker 6: guys they don't have that super star you know, that
Speaker 6: pole horizon energy that we look forward to it just
Speaker 6: like you know, you go back to Michael Jordan's he
Speaker 6: was so polarizing, but it was so it was such
Speaker 6: a mystery because we didn't have all the access to ends.
Speaker 6: So that I feel like that's the biggest difference. And
Speaker 6: you know, like you guys said, it's a transitional phase
Speaker 6: and we'll.
Speaker 7: See where it goes.
Speaker 6: Right now, it's just up in the air. You know,
Speaker 6: we can only hope for the best of the NBA,
Speaker 6: but it seems like we're embracing the NFL stars a
Speaker 6: lot faster because the NFL is this case, it really is, it.
Speaker 3: Is, and it's that that good of a product where
Speaker 3: you're not really competing with anything. If you're a casual
Speaker 3: NBA fan, you're oversaturated with other options. Like if you
Speaker 3: asked me honestly over the weekend, yeah, would you rather
Speaker 3: watch the NBA All Star Game or Cobra Kai. I'm
Speaker 3: watching Cobra Kai. That sounds ridiculous, but we have. My
Speaker 3: point is, you have options. As your mom would say,
Speaker 3: up the wazoo.
Speaker 2: You have so many other things to watch.
Speaker 7: Mom.
Speaker 3: It's competing with all the these other things, you know, So
Speaker 3: it's a mixture. It's a perfect storm of all of
Speaker 3: these things, Richie. I can't force these things, the new formats,
Speaker 3: the new stars, and you have all these other things
Speaker 3: to watch.
Speaker 2: George and La, what's up, Bud, what's Fellas? What's up?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 2: Hey, Buddy, Hey Man, got to hear you guys this morning.
Speaker 2: It was a good surprised, nice man, high surprise surprise.
Speaker 7: My second sorry with your daughter.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 7: Was that was cool?
Speaker 6: Man, That was real cool?
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks man, it was all right. You know, it's
Speaker 3: a weird. It's a weird moment. To just sort of
Speaker 3: accept that your daughter it's not her first boyfriend.
Speaker 9: But she's fifteen now, so different right now. Yeah, so
Speaker 9: it's on your mind.
Speaker 8: George.
Speaker 1: Hey, bro, I'll tell you it wasn't cool that Sprinky
Speaker 1: Dinky also our game.
Speaker 10: Bro.
Speaker 7: It was pretty lame.
Speaker 1: It was non competitive. They need to come up with
Speaker 1: a better idea.
Speaker 6: Maybe, how about.
Speaker 7: Like something like, well, what hockey does?
Speaker 1: That hockey game was was beast but that was awesome.
Speaker 2: First, Yeah, hockey. So the weekend with their fights, I
Speaker 2: mean hockey fights.
Speaker 4: You know what it was. This weekend was hockey fights.
Speaker 4: Saturday Night Live fifty and a couple other things that
Speaker 4: all sort of overshadowed. It was a pick a ball tournament.
Speaker 5: There was some crazy crashes in the Daytona five hundred
Speaker 5: when that picked up after the weather delay.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't want to I don't want to be the
Speaker 4: guy that piles on I don't want to kick the
Speaker 4: NBA walls.
Speaker 3: But if you weren't painting the narrative, then you wouldn't
Speaker 3: be accurate either. And that was the narrative on If
Speaker 3: you took the temperature on social media and just the
Speaker 3: buzz of of what people were saying about All Star Weekend,
Speaker 3: that's exactly it. If you see it otherwise, feel free
Speaker 3: to share. We're just painting a picture for you. As
Speaker 3: I said to you, I don't want to.
Speaker 4: I just don't want to pile on and be like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean he stinks, right, guys, because I just think
Speaker 4: there's a they're trying. Adam Silver was striking. I'm just
Speaker 4: saying you can't force people to like something.
Speaker 3: I mean another thing though, just to show that you're
Speaker 3: not rich is again, that's the overall sentiment of how
Speaker 3: people are feeling. Right, So we're not gonna come here
Speaker 3: and be like two that was electric? Are we would
Speaker 3: sound ridiculous?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right.
Speaker 3: Draymond Green over the weekend was basically talking about how
Speaker 3: flat it was, how weak it was, how you have
Speaker 3: these you know, young players out there that don't deserve
Speaker 3: to be out there, and that the format didn't work
Speaker 3: like he made it no secret And that's been a
Speaker 3: theory of ours too on this show. When you have
Speaker 3: the analysts and former players and current players dumping on
Speaker 3: the product, how do you expect the casual fan to
Speaker 3: be excited about it? That's bad marketing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there were twenty minute breaks in that bracket final,
Speaker 5: and a lot of the players spoke out afterwards saying
Speaker 5: they didn't like it. They understand that it needs to
Speaker 5: be kind of stretched out for TV, right, and they're
Speaker 5: just being honest. But like Kevin Hart was doing stand
Speaker 5: up and little skits and he was at Lebron's locker
Speaker 5: putting his shoes on, and you know, and Trey Young
Speaker 5: said he was part of Chuck's Global Stars. I didn't
Speaker 5: like the breaks. The games were so short. Obviously we
Speaker 5: can score, so I feel like extend the game, you know,
Speaker 5: because they need breaks and things like that.
Speaker 2: But the players want to play.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think the silver lining here is they're
Speaker 3: trying to figure it out or trying to give you
Speaker 3: something else. Like we always say, Rich Gary Ve, we
Speaker 3: quote him innovator died or trying to innovate and trying
Speaker 3: to make things exciting.
Speaker 2: So that's the positive.

Speaker 4: Let's go to our dude, Marvin, one of the Dan Adds, who,
Speaker 4: by the way, we had such a fun time the
Speaker 4: last couple of years sing him at the Super Bowl,
Speaker 4: and it was great to see him this year just
Speaker 4: for you know, for a moment.
Speaker 2: But let's welcome Marvin, Marvin. How are you, Bud?
Speaker 7: What's going on? Guys?
Speaker 2: What's up? Brother?
Speaker 7: Man? Things are good, man? Just a little vaca, that's it.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you should be sleeping in dude.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, I got a kid and a dog. I'm up.
Speaker 2: Yeah the dog. Yeah, you ain't sleeping.
Speaker 4: So you have a story about the picture or my
Speaker 4: sweet new sneakers.
Speaker 7: Oh look, I'm gonna plead the fifth on your sneaker thing.
Speaker 7: But the pictures. So when I was when I was
Speaker 7: young in this business, I was working at Gillett and
Speaker 7: Deon Sanders was working for the NFL network, and so
Speaker 7: I was like, oh, man, can I get a Can
Speaker 7: I get a pick? In one of my coworkers. I
Speaker 7: was like, yeah, got a pick? And it did. It
Speaker 7: was blurry, it was awful, all of it. And I'm
Speaker 7: sitting there looking at him like, man, this might be
Speaker 7: the only opportunity that I might have to take a
Speaker 7: picture with prime time, not knowing that life would turn
Speaker 7: out how we did. So you know, things have worked
Speaker 7: out where I've taken a couple more with them, but
Speaker 7: I was just so angry. I was like, man, you
Speaker 7: are useless.
Speaker 2: I did the same thing one time.
Speaker 3: I feel so bad our buddy Spot, who you know,
Speaker 3: when he's not in a fetal position with the black lung,
Speaker 3: when he's here not sick. Uh, you know, he's producing
Speaker 3: our show and doing videos and stuff like that, and
Speaker 3: he never asks for photos with celebrities ever. We had
Speaker 3: Nicholas Cage on our show one time, and it was
Speaker 3: the first time, honestly that Spot asked for a photo.
Speaker 2: He's like, hey, guys, you know I hate to ask,
Speaker 2: but could I.
Speaker 9: Get a picture with Nicholas Cage was full on, like
Speaker 9: the most famous face I'd ever seen. He was in
Speaker 9: full on Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 2: He's like, where wal Yeah.
Speaker 9: The Spot was like, can you get a picture, and
Speaker 9: he gave the camera to me. I took the blurriout
Speaker 9: photo but hold on and I ruined it.
Speaker 3: He was so upset by it because he wanted his
Speaker 3: mom to see it and everything. But now there's technology
Speaker 3: where you could take your primetime photo. I know you
Speaker 3: got an updated one, Marvin, but you could you know,
Speaker 3: put it in the nap and now I fix it.
Speaker 2: But it gives you creepy eyes though.
Speaker 9: It will fix it though, man, because I've taken in
Speaker 9: that Nicholas Cage photo and is crystal clear now like
Speaker 9: it never happened.
Speaker 3: So yeah, there are ways to fix those terrible moments. Marvin, Marvin,
Speaker 3: how long you been with uh? With Dan Patrick?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 7: All right? So I've been with the show as a
Speaker 7: whole for about six years, but I've been a Danette
Speaker 7: for about three years.
Speaker 2: Nice, so you've you've been together for a minute.
Speaker 4: So you guys, you know the dan Ads and Dan
Speaker 4: you guys have had your squabbles and your fights over
Speaker 4: the years.
Speaker 2: I'm sure a little, you know, butting of the heads, correct.
Speaker 7: I'm sure, yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 4: So Camino and I have only gotten a few real fights,
Speaker 4: and one of them had to do with a picture.
Speaker 4: And this, this is I think one of Covino's most
Speaker 4: embarrassing moments.
Speaker 3: Coming from the guy that where it's generic quite sneakers.
Speaker 3: It looks like they were the last in the bargain
Speaker 3: been at at gualmar So.
Speaker 4: We're living in New York at the time, but Covino's
Speaker 4: going back and forth because you know, his his ex
Speaker 4: wife lived in La So. Covino's back and forth La
Speaker 4: New York, La New York. So as a joke, when
Speaker 4: Cavino wasn't in the New York studio, we had a
Speaker 4: cardboard cutout of Cavino made so Cavino. There's a cardboard
Speaker 4: cutout of Cavino, And as a joke, we'd put the
Speaker 4: cardboard cutout in pictures with celebrities and guests on the show.
Speaker 4: One time we had David Hasselhoff on the show and
Speaker 4: we take a quick picture and Cavino loses his mind
Speaker 4: that I didn't pull his cardboard cutout.
Speaker 9: I lost in the photo because you know, I felt
Speaker 9: bad that I wasn't there and I just wanted to
Speaker 9: be represented, and Rich lied.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. Ridgel was like, I didn't have time
Speaker 3: to go and get it. And then when you see
Speaker 3: the actual photo, it's right there in the photo.
Speaker 2: In the background.
Speaker 3: So he told the undermined, like me, as the co
Speaker 3: host of the show, imagine the cutout.
Speaker 4: Imagine being mad that someone didn't take your cardboard cutout
Speaker 4: into a photo, as if it's you.
Speaker 2: I was mad about that. Man.
Speaker 3: Hey, you know what since we do have you, Marvin,
Speaker 3: I do want your opinion on Lebron James ruining team
Speaker 3: photo or not again, Is.
Speaker 2: It the biggest deal?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not, But what are your thoughts on him wearing
Speaker 3: street clothes in the All Star Game photo?
Speaker 7: So you know what, I think people would just have
Speaker 7: this thing because Lebron's so polarizing. Whatever he does, they
Speaker 7: act like it's the first time it's ever been done.
Speaker 7: So you look back in the history of All Star photos. Look,
Speaker 7: Kobe's in a photo with street closed when he didn't play,
Speaker 7: and Dwayne Wade is it a photo with street clothes
Speaker 7: when he I think people are more upset about the
Speaker 7: timing that he said he wasn't going to play more
Speaker 7: than him being a street clothes. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just all those things added up together and
Speaker 3: all the criticism about the game and everything else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, right, And it's Lebron right.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, He's so polarizing no matter what all. He ruined
Speaker 7: the All Star Game. I'm sorry. In two thousand and eight,
Speaker 7: him and Ray Allen went off the comebacks for the
Speaker 7: East against the West. I was like, he's always played hard.
Speaker 7: It's the other guys, it's the jokers. It's Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 7: Those guys lolly gagg can throw up box alley you
Speaker 7: the entire All Star Game. And now people were like, oh,
Speaker 7: what happened you know to the game I loved? Man,
Speaker 7: These guys make so much money and they lolly gag. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and they do all this stuff. And I get it
Speaker 7: from a standpoint of you know, people say, oh what
Speaker 7: happened to you know what when people say the All
Speaker 7: Star Game doesn't count, no one's ever got upset about
Speaker 7: the outcome of the All Star Game. They just want
Speaker 7: some type of effort. The All Star Game is the
Speaker 7: All Star Game is supposed to be the world's best
Speaker 7: pickup game. That's exactly what it's supposed to be. When
Speaker 7: I was a kid, might be, you know, showing my age.
Speaker 7: But when Isaiah and Michael Jordan on the same team,
Speaker 7: let's go, no doubt.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's when it was. That's when you felt
Speaker 4: that competition. By the way, Marvin, thank you to you
Speaker 4: and all the Daneuts and tell Dan we appreciate you
Speaker 4: letting us.
Speaker 7: Oh man, no, not a problem guys.
Speaker 2: Before, big fan of what you guys do. Thank you Marvin.
Speaker 4: One of the from The Dan Patrick Show. Love those guys.

Speaker 9: game to finish up last night. It was the More
Speaker 9: Nations face off, and I'll say this.
Speaker 2: Q sounds very disappointed. It was a bummer.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I don't know about you, LeVar. I
Speaker 11: wasn't rooting for Canada. It's surely not. I said they
Speaker 11: were better than.
Speaker 9: Native Now if it was football, is that a ukulele
Speaker 9: playing what it sounded like?
Speaker 8: I think so, jesus.
Speaker 10: I mean, I would have been ready to cut my
Speaker 10: wrist open if if we played them in like US
Speaker 10: versus Canada and football we lost.
Speaker 2: But is hockey.
Speaker 8: See that's the difference between you and me. Like I
Speaker 8: would still be feeling that way.
Speaker 11: And I don't even know how to play hockey, but
Speaker 11: I'd sure as well try I'd be giving it my
Speaker 11: best effort, falling down, flopping around.
Speaker 10: If I lost, I'd be like, you know what, there's
Speaker 10: more frozen pawns in Canada than there are in the
Speaker 10: United States.
Speaker 2: And I get it here.
Speaker 11: Well, First off, Canada was the better team last night.
Speaker 11: For anyone who watched. It felt like the US had
Speaker 11: a hard time controlling the puck. It felt like there
Speaker 11: wasn't the same impact as far as the physicality. You know,
Speaker 11: to some degree that the defense held up. But I
Speaker 11: also felt like, and the stats aren't always indicative of this,
Speaker 11: it just felt like when Canada had opportunities to.
Speaker 8: Score, they were a bit more legit. They're a bit
Speaker 8: more on net.
Speaker 11: It was some close calls you maybe you want to
Speaker 11: say luck, but there was just moments where if you're
Speaker 11: watching as a fan of the US, you're kind of
Speaker 11: holding on the edge of your seat, being like, okay,
Speaker 11: got by one, there another one.
Speaker 2: Bennington was unbelievable, but you know what was.
Speaker 8: Super I don't know it.
Speaker 11: And overtime was fine, But I'm saying but leading up
Speaker 11: to that point, I thought the US was was better defensively.
Speaker 8: I watched for the first three period.
Speaker 10: First of all, I watched the game because you guys
Speaker 10: made it a big deal on the show leading up
Speaker 10: to the game. That was first and fourth we did
Speaker 10: get better rating, all right, and think about this so
Speaker 10: then secondly, then then it really dawned on me, like, Wow,
Speaker 10: what an amazing setup in a situation to play off
Speaker 10: of the NFL Super Bowl and everything that has happened
Speaker 10: during the course of this calendar year. You get the
Speaker 10: most ideal matchup in a sport that could be obscure
Speaker 10: to other categories groups of people, and you guys are
Speaker 10: wondering where I'm going with this right then it's like.
Speaker 2: They're not like us. They're not like us, like probably
Speaker 2: a miin't her.
Speaker 10: And I'm sitting there thinking of myself, damn Kendrick Lamar,
Speaker 10: and Drake is sitting somewhere.
Speaker 2: Drake is sitting there proud.
Speaker 10: Like we finally won one this year, even though it
Speaker 10: took till twenty twenty five to get it, but we
Speaker 10: got something.
Speaker 2: We won something, Canada won something. I let y'all down.
Speaker 10: Kendrick Lamar's been spanking my ass for a whole entire
Speaker 10: calendar year, won awards off of going at me? Does
Speaker 10: it at the Super Bowl and everybody's like pro America
Speaker 10: and forgot about how dope Canada is and lo and behold,
Speaker 10: here we go when it really mattered for us in
Speaker 10: a sport that really matters to us, and to them,
Speaker 10: we won. We won.
Speaker 2: Drake won last night, and.
Speaker 10: I was watching it, and as I'm watching it for Rake,
Speaker 10: I'm like, damn, I bet you. Drake is sitting somewhere like,
Speaker 10: please don't lose, please, please, please don't lose, please, And
Speaker 10: it made it more interesting to me. And I just
Speaker 10: wonder how many people around the country that were in
Speaker 10: on this whole, which there's a lot of people that
Speaker 10: are connected to this Draken and Kendrick Lamar beef. And
Speaker 10: I'm telling you, somewhere Drake was sitting there and it's
Speaker 10: going to come out at some point he's going to
Speaker 10: reference that game and he's going to try to use
Speaker 10: it as a way to say that I told you
Speaker 10: Canada is better than America based on actually it made
Speaker 10: it interesting.
Speaker 9: Go ahead, and John Well, I was just going to say,
Speaker 9: based on the attire at the Super Bowl, the bell bottoms,
Speaker 9: I don't really see Ken Lamar as.
Speaker 2: A hockey by the way they called him. It doesn't
Speaker 2: strike me as a hockey fan. They don't.
Speaker 10: They don't call them bell bottoms anymore, Jonas, It's.
Speaker 2: Called flared bottoms.
Speaker 8: They call what you want.
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, just telling you.
Speaker 8: I don't know whose calm it was.
Speaker 11: I was reading about it, but it was kind of interesting,
Speaker 11: and they were play on the adversarial position of the
Speaker 11: Drake Kendrick Lamar conversation because the popular opinion, the easy
Speaker 11: thing to said, Oh, Kendrick l won this stuff, he
Speaker 11: hit super Bowl, you know all this stuff, and they
Speaker 11: actually said the fact that the biggest moment for Kendrick
Speaker 11: Lamar was the super Bowl halftime show and he couldn't
Speaker 11: do anything.
Speaker 8: Other than perform a song.
Speaker 11: That's a distrack to Drake because that's where Drake lives
Speaker 11: in his head, rent free. And if you're comparing the
Speaker 11: two as far as what they've accomplished so far in
Speaker 11: their rapping careers, it's not even close. I mean, obviously
Speaker 11: Drake's been way more successful. So I was actually I'm
Speaker 11: reading this column and I was thinking, I don't have
Speaker 11: a dog in the fight. I honestly could care less.
Speaker 11: But it was an interesting perspective that, like, if you
Speaker 11: really think about it. As much as people want to
Speaker 11: kind of give Kendrick Lamar, Oh, he's the winner. He
Speaker 11: did that, it's like, well yeah, but I think Drake's
Speaker 11: sold Okay. I mean his name is like still out there.
Speaker 11: Granted he's saying what he's saying and there's different accusations,
Speaker 11: but he's been way more successful. He'll continue to be
Speaker 11: more successful. And like, I'm not sure that after the
Speaker 11: Super Bowl halftime show, like did that help Kendrick Lamar, Like,
Speaker 11: I think people who knew him knew him, people like
Speaker 11: his rap, like his rap.
Speaker 8: I'm not sure it like grew anything.
Speaker 11: I think if anything, it's just kind of like all right,
Speaker 11: no sweet, like the US one, I feel like we
Speaker 11: won that one. But ultimately, if you're looking at like
Speaker 11: the long term, like I mean, I'm not sure Kendrick
Speaker 11: Lamar wins in the long in the long run.
Speaker 2: I'll just say this.
Speaker 10: This this to me was one of those scenarios where
Speaker 10: you're looking at a guy and and Drake has always
Speaker 10: been considered like the sexy, light skinned it lover, right,
Speaker 10: like people are so aried by, Well, that's super light,
Speaker 10: that's like super white chocolate, sexy lover you know what
Speaker 10: I mean.
Speaker 8: You know, I take exception to that. I've got somewhat
Speaker 8: all of skin. I'm pretty sure we uh.
Speaker 10: We well light skin, and your category is very compare
Speaker 10: in New Orleans to one another. Yeah, I mean, you're
Speaker 10: not too many shades off from me, and I'm I'm
Speaker 10: on the darker side.
Speaker 2: But about like you you you, I just remember, you go,
Speaker 2: you go.
Speaker 8: We're not doing this. This is not yet.
Speaker 10: Okay, we could do it over the radio, but we
Speaker 10: are not going to do this live and in person.
Speaker 10: I mean, we're just not going to do it.
Speaker 2: But I will say I look like a paper towel
Speaker 2: that still a lar.
Speaker 10: Some of some of Qu's mannerisms when he got a
Speaker 10: little bit of oil in him are very light skin.
Speaker 2: That's all I'm gonna say. Me damn House just gonna say.
Speaker 10: And you see the way people flock to light skin cats, man,
Speaker 10: they just seem more. They just seemed more, you know,
Speaker 10: like approachable, you know, very like seem like more attractive
Speaker 10: to My name is Tyrone.
Speaker 2: I get it, bro I get it.
Speaker 10: That's what I'm trying to say. And in the end,
Speaker 10: the point of the matter is is that if I
Speaker 10: was Kendrick Lamar and you was Drake at that bar
Speaker 10: on Thursday in New Orleans. Drake was still winning, That's
Speaker 10: all I'm gonna say. And that was culminated by a
Speaker 10: win and a dub by Canada in this this World
Speaker 10: Cup night.
Speaker 2: That's okay.
Speaker 11: Can I take one exception with the format and I
Speaker 11: realize we have an NHL season to play and so
Speaker 11: we can't drag this thing out.
Speaker 8: But they split.
Speaker 11: It was a round robin. They got to play twice,
Speaker 11: the USA, one on their turf. The first time they
Speaker 11: won on the USA's turf. It feels like for the
Speaker 11: championship it should be like a best of three, like,
Speaker 11: let them play at least one two more games to
Speaker 11: figure this thing out. Now, this is gonna sound like
Speaker 11: a sore loser Tenny Canadians out there, And if you
Speaker 11: feel that way, I'm just saying you got beat up
Speaker 11: the first time around.
Speaker 8: We took it on the chin this last time. I'd
Speaker 8: love to see two more.
Speaker 11: Let's running back, let's run it back, I'd love to
Speaker 11: see I'd love to see a best of three for
Speaker 11: the actual championship of the four nations as it passed
Speaker 11: to the whole round Robin you know format, which again,
Speaker 11: it just I understand how it works.
Speaker 8: It just it would have been nice to see a
Speaker 8: best of three series.
Speaker 9: Somebody brought it up post game. Might have been Steve
Speaker 9: Levy or got to forget who a Ray Ferr. Somebody
Speaker 9: made the comment that there was an idea that was
Speaker 9: floated out there kind of in jes like, eh, well
Speaker 9: what about this thought that they would you know, you
Speaker 9: don't really need anybody else if you just every year
Speaker 9: did a hey, just for the hell of it, best
Speaker 9: of five series between the US and Canada and hockey.
Speaker 2: That's all you need. People would watch, would.
Speaker 9: Like, you don't need Finland, you don't need no like,
Speaker 9: just have those two go at it yearly. Make it
Speaker 9: a tradition, do some sort of a.
Speaker 7: I like it.
Speaker 2: It's fun, man, Like.
Speaker 10: You know, does that apply to the NBA. Maybe the
Speaker 10: NBA could stand and learn something from it. A Coros
Speaker 10: VERSUS Americans.
Speaker 9: A couple of years ago, Baseball did this World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 2: Before that, I mean we would lose, we would get
Speaker 2: our asses kicked, but people but people loved it because
Speaker 2: we would lose that one.
Speaker 9: You saw you know, up and coming stars, you saw
Speaker 9: all these players from Japan that nobody had seen before.
Speaker 9: It was staged in the US at different ballparks around
Speaker 9: and it was before spring training, before the season or
Speaker 9: in the midst of spring training, and they're going to
Speaker 9: bring it back. I think in twenty twenty six is
Speaker 9: when it comes back. But you saw that there was
Speaker 9: a wow. This worked a lot better than we thought
Speaker 9: it was going to. And this had the same feel
Speaker 9: last night to where they kind of fell upon something
Speaker 9: that they've got to build on. And for as much
Speaker 9: as we want to say about well it's you know,
Speaker 9: it's hockey and how many people care about it in
Speaker 9: this country, I guarantee you people will start following the
Speaker 9: sport and start following the NHL.
Speaker 10: Based on what an easy marketable deal, right, you can
Speaker 10: leverage that in the market. It's relevant within each market.
Speaker 10: And let me ask you, what do you think the
Speaker 10: percentage of Canadians playing in the NHL are plus you'd
Speaker 10: have you have NHL franchises that are in Canada, so like,
Speaker 10: what would like what would that population be. I'm sure
Speaker 10: it's significant enough. I know we get their biggest stars
Speaker 10: coming to play in the NHL. Listened, Like, imagine that
Speaker 10: Canada to the way three percent.
Speaker 11: Just a little history on this, uh, dating back to
Speaker 11: the nineteen eighties, it will used to be seventy five
Speaker 11: percent town.
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're better taken. I mean in theory you would
Speaker 10: consider them to be better. I mean I just would.
Speaker 10: I think it would be interesting and and honestly.
Speaker 2: Maybe every single sport could benefit from that.
Speaker 10: Instead of doing the Pro Bowl where you take the
Speaker 10: All pros and you do this weird ass water down deal,
Speaker 10: have them play the best mother lovers that play in
Speaker 10: Canada have had like the second tier guys.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't watch that.
Speaker 10: We just don't know that they could field a team. No, bro,
Speaker 10: they played football in Canada. I don't know if you
Speaker 10: watch Canadian football, they played football in Canada. All I'm
Speaker 10: gonna say is it would bring a different market into
Speaker 10: watching a singular game because of the pride of Canada
Speaker 10: versus the US. The US versus Canada. Don't use the
Speaker 10: best of the best. Use those ones, give them a
Speaker 10: bonus and send them out there and have a real
Speaker 10: ass exhibition game against the best of the best in
Speaker 10: the Canadian Football League. That gives you what you want
Speaker 10: with the American viewers. It gives you what you want
Speaker 10: for the Canadian viewers, and it gives you an opportunity
Speaker 10: to showcase players that might have needed an opportunity to
Speaker 10: get some exposure.
Speaker 2: I would do it in basketball too.
Speaker 10: You want to make a different format that matters to
Speaker 10: the fan, where it's like there's a sense like Q
Speaker 10: was talking about earlier in the week, where there's a
Speaker 10: sense of pride or the intensity. You think an American
Speaker 10: NFL football player wants to lose a game to a
Speaker 10: Canadian League football player.
Speaker 2: Let them lose that game.
Speaker 10: You know how much scrutiny and criticism would come upon
Speaker 10: the NFL and the players if they lost. I guarantee you,
Speaker 10: with that bonus money and with them playing that game
Speaker 10: with the pride of the USA, they would play their
Speaker 10: asses off.
Speaker 8: It's like the Olympics. Watch the NBA. You know players
Speaker 8: go over and playing in the Olympics for USA.
Speaker 2: You don't want to see them lose. Yeah, you you
Speaker 2: do not want to see.
Speaker 10: What we believe is we're the superpower. We are the
Speaker 10: ones that are superior to everybody else. If you lose,
Speaker 10: it is.
Speaker 2: The end of the world unless you bet on the
Speaker 2: other team. Oh, you know, like you like who they have.
Speaker 9: I think the Sudan Uhan took they almost won, took
Speaker 9: the US to the wire last year or something like
Speaker 9: that one. I mean, you got them at plus forty
Speaker 9: or something.
Speaker 2: That's a big pay. Yeah, but that's you.
Speaker 10: You're moving the goal post. Like forget Sudan. Like like
Speaker 10: I'm saying, take the superpower of taking the best players, which,
Speaker 10: by the way, a lot of those players are American
Speaker 10: football players that air quotes did not were not able
Speaker 10: to make it playing in the NFL. Imagine you take
Speaker 10: the All Stars, the best of the best out of
Speaker 10: the Canadian Football League, off their teams, you put them
Speaker 10: together and they represent Canada in an exhibition game against
Speaker 10: what would be perceived as the best of the best
Speaker 10: of the NFL. But it would not be the best
Speaker 10: of the best. You're not You're not putting Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 10: or Josh Allen out there. You're putting Dak Prescott, Chad.
Speaker 2: Kelly lighting up Vic Fangio's defense.
Speaker 10: Come on, man, come on, man, Stott, you tell me
Speaker 10: you wouldn't want to I would rather attend that game
Speaker 10: than the Super Bowl. I would actually want a ticket
Speaker 10: to go watch that game.
Speaker 8: Jonas is an idiot.
Speaker 2: He was an idiot.
Speaker 7: I did not.
Speaker 11: Realize how he slipped that in there. Chad Kelly's not
Speaker 11: born in Canada, jonas.
Speaker 2: Any places for the CFL.
Speaker 8: I figure it doesn't mean he's gonna represent that.
Speaker 9: You think he could do a twenty three and meter
Speaker 9: and find out he's got a relative from Toronto somewhere.
Speaker 8: Probably not.
Speaker 11: Dang well, I mean, are you based that off of
Speaker 11: just him being related to Jim Kelly and situation?
Speaker 2: You know, it feels like a loose accusation, far off.
Speaker 10: There's something wrong, loves slipping in weird little sad bars.
Speaker 10: I figured that's what he meant. I didn't know who
Speaker 10: the second one was, but I knew who the first
Speaker 10: one was, so it's fine. She She didn't see when
Speaker 10: he gave you that little grin he looked over with
Speaker 10: the you know, with his little fang hanging out his mouth.
Speaker 8: Here's here's all I know.
Speaker 11: Because I'm watching the game, and during the course of
Speaker 11: the game, it comes across my mind, Oh yeah, Lee
Speaker 11: was supposed to be going out tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah did you? Oh? Yeah, sure did went to uh
Speaker 2: oh did you hear the way? Responded, sure did? He
Speaker 2: is lit up. There's number two. Check off number two. Hey,
Speaker 2: what's the what what damage you do last night? Perfect ingredients?
Speaker 2: Oh damn? Check number three quick quick shot. When the
Speaker 2: lady went to the bathroom. Lady, when the lady.
Speaker 11: Hold on, explain how that works? So she gets something,
Speaker 11: says to you, Hey, honey, I need use the bathroom
Speaker 11: real quick. Are you waiting until she's far enough away
Speaker 11: where you can be like bartender bart and you're like
Speaker 11: trying to get him to rush over to here was she?
Speaker 2: And yes, I did.
Speaker 12: I got caught her attention, said hey, can I have
Speaker 12: a quick one? And you know we sometimes they they
Speaker 12: kind of get they kind of get the game on.
Speaker 12: Got to make sure you clarify what I'm I'm kicking
Speaker 12: it with a nice gentleman who's in town from Boston.
Speaker 12: Now he's watching them, he's watching the game, his waiting,
Speaker 12: he's waiting for a table for his kids are waiting
Speaker 12: for a table. And I said, hey, you mind me
Speaker 12: putting this shot glass in front of you? Slide it
Speaker 12: right over. And then she comes back. She's none the wiser,
Speaker 12: So I have myself an I p A is shot
Speaker 12: and then uh, and then she goes to the movie,
Speaker 12: and I have myself a little Long Island as I'm paying.
Speaker 2: The bill out the door. He did you go meet
Speaker 2: her at the movie? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Oh, and if you're doing an I P A shot
Speaker 9: and a Long Island, you gotta suck it back quick
Speaker 9: so she doesn't notice. She clearly doesn't care about it,
Speaker 9: probably floating by the time he walked in there.
Speaker 2: Listen to what he said. She left him twice for
Speaker 2: the bathroom.
Speaker 10: So, so do you leave your your crackhead buddy, family member,
Speaker 10: boyfriend girlfriend alone in front of a crack dealer? I mean,
Speaker 10: you want some rocks? Crack is why I'm not gonna
Speaker 10: walk away and leave you in front of there to.
Speaker 2: I'm not leaving you there to get that rock. Yeah, wait,
Speaker 2: to violate her.
Speaker 10: She don't really care about you, Lee. She left you
Speaker 10: there knowing that you was at the bar by yourself.
Speaker 9: Come on, man, if she knew he was sucking back
Speaker 9: Long Islands and IPAs, he would have walked into a
Speaker 9: gatling gun in the theater.
Speaker 10: Bro, do you understand when somebody doesn't want you to
Speaker 10: do something? You know what she would have said, walk
Speaker 10: me to the restroom. You know what she'd have said,
Speaker 10: You're going to the entrance with me. Maybe you haven't
Speaker 10: experienced that either yourself, Jonas, But I'm just trying to
Speaker 10: tell you if somebody cares that much about what you're doing, Look,
Speaker 10: he drinking something right now. If you were to do
Speaker 10: something that somebody that loves you cares about you not doing,
Speaker 10: like say, drinking too much, you're not going to walk
Speaker 10: away from them one time and leave them there. Let
Speaker 10: alone go there to the first time, Like, we're not
Speaker 10: going to the bar together. That's first and foremost. Then
Speaker 10: I'm certainly not going to leave you one time at
Speaker 10: the bar. Then secondly, I'm not going to leave you
Speaker 10: two times like oh, I'm going to go get the
Speaker 10: popcorn and the skittles and and the bond bonds that
Speaker 10: at the you know, come on, man, you gotta be
Speaker 10: kidding me.
Speaker 2: She wanted you to drink brouh.
Speaker 12: She wants you to she wants you to ruin evening
