00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 4: and a ponytail. Do you have any idea?

20
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,640

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: anxiously awaiting.

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 4: Well, it's not really a ponytail. It was just a

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 4: little you know, one of those little little things that

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 4: people had back then. It wasn't the full long ponytail,

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 4: but you did put it in a rubber band.

26
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: It's like a little nubbing kind of yeah.

27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: Little nub thing back there.

28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,560

45
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: reality of your world. That's the hope. A little bit

46
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 3: of escapism here as we to put it through the prism.

47
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 2: Of Sport Beverly Hills.

48
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 4: Like you, my friend, I want you to know that,

49
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 4: come on, everybody's mister Beverly Hills like you, Harmony.

50
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: Well, I'm working towards it, and I'm not there yet.

51
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 3: Two girls that are going to go to pretty good universities,

52
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: which it's cost me a lot of money, which means

53
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: we're gonna we're gonna work as often as they'll let me.

54
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 3: Here behind the microphones at Fox Sports Radio at Swollen Dome,

55
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: where you find me, give us a shout here on

56
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: the program. Now. I want to pay this off because

57
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: we've been talking about it for a while. The rift

58
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 3: earlier this week where Draymond Green and Steve Kerr got

59
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: into it at the bench, said some things, some unpleasant trees,

60
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: and then Draymond Green left. Yeah, he just said, I'm

61
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: taking my ball and I'm going home. It's best I

62
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: don't stay here, is what he was quoted as saying. Okay.

63
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 3: Finally came back to the bench and Steve Kerr was asked,

64
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: was their consideration of putting him back in game? They're

65
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: getting beat on? He goes, no, No, there wasn't. So

66
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: how does that play? A couple of days later, you're

67
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 3: gonna play on Christmas Day? You got a big match

68
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: up here. Steph Curry Clay Thompson with the hug it

69
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: out moment. Steph wearing some Clay Thompson shoes when asked

70
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 3: about it, kind of chuckle and it's like, yeah, purely coincidental,

71
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 3: making fun of the reporter a little bit and having

72
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 3: fun at their expense. But Steve Kerr, you know, was

73
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: had to address the Draymond Green incident and one more time,

74
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 3: and this is how he approached it.

75
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 5: Monday night.

76
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 6: Monday night was not my finest hour and and that

77
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 6: was the time I needed to be calm in the huddle,

78
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 6: and so I regret and you know my actions in

79
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 6: that exchange, and you know, I apologize to Dre.

80
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: He apologized to me.

81
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 6: We both apologize to the team.

82
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: See there you go, cut and print and forever. That's

83
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: now in your card. Like we always saw Bob costas

84
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: it was, this was my Mickey Mantle card because I

85
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: love baseball so much and this is the history and

86
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: this was my guy. Same thing here. You print that out, laminade,

87
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: get that Etsy store up Shay, and you do it

88
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: in a bunch of different fonts and colors. Laminate the

89
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: hell out of it, and we start selling that as

90
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 3: an addendum to our Christmas card collection for twenty twenty six.

91
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: See we're making money here at Fox Sports Radio. Uh,

92
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: just the idea of here. Yes, I have some responsibility here.

93
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: We got words, got in the way. We've been together

94
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: a long time, fought a little bit. But it's done.

95
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know it's done. But first of all, it's

96
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 4: nice to Steve to admit that he had some fault

97
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 4: in this and apologized. But really, this is Andreymond Green.

98
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 4: How many times have we seen this before? And to

99
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 4: be honest with you, if I'm a Golden State fan,

100
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: I know we're on their station up there in San Francisco.

101
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 4: It's it's time for him to go. Let's be honest.

102
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 4: Golden State's not in a position to win an NBA

103
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 4: championship right now. Things have got to be moved around.

104
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 4: You just don't need the attitude of Draymond Green on

105
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 4: that team. Steph Curry's getting up there in years. I'm

106
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: not ever getting rid of Steph Curry. He's gonna stay

107
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: on the Warriors as long as he's playing in the NBA.

108
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 4: And who knows how long Steve Kerr is going to

109
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: want to coach. I would think it's only another two

110
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: to three years. At most, So it's time to move

111
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 4: Draymont Green. The guy's become a headache. I mean, let's

112
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 4: be honest, Why do you need to have that type

113
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 4: of attitude like that, especially in that situation. He gets

114
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 4: too heated too many times, whether it's not his own team,

115
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: his own teammates, his own coach, the other team's teams.

116
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 4: It's just crazy. I got to move on and go

117
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 4: in a different direction there, Mike.

118
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: There one game above five hundred and ten and four

119
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: at home, they had ten point win over Dallas. Today,

120
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis left with an injury, drawing injury. So we'll

121
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 3: keep an eye on that.

122
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, shocker.

123
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: Well, look, guys get hurt.

124
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's hurt all the time. Stop it.

125
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not going to be pejorative and dismissive about it.

126
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: It's but it is a reality that you when you

127
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: bring in a guy like Anthony Davis. It's kind of

128
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 3: like we were talking about the quarterback position in the NFL.

129
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: You got to have another plan, you got to have

130
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 3: another path and know where you're going. And you know,

131
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: I've seen the positing of well, they need to make

132
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: sure it's Cooper Flags. He he's like they've already done that. Yeah,

133
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 3: that already that already happened. That transition is well underway

134
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: and you've seen some great results from it. But for

135
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis, now the question of when he comes back.

136
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 3: They're twelve and twenty on the AAR. But for Golden State,

137
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: the question with Draymond Green has long been when do

138
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 3: we hit the equilibrium between what you can give in

139
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: terms of performance against the trouble and angst and exactly

140
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: whether you're slowing in competing, stopping, reversing altogether any form

141
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 3: of process of what and progress of what your team

142
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: is doing. And we're probably at that time and here

143
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: you're able to dismiss it to a degree of like,

144
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: all right, two people, they're going to great on each other.

145
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 3: And if things are going bad, you know, it's what's

146
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: the straw that that breaks the proverbial Campbell's back. Why

147
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: I played the Steve Kerr audio of the idea of

148
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: hey been together a long time. I got to own

149
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: my piece of it, and he does right in terms

150
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: of rotations and how a couple.

151
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: Of years ago. I don't see why Kerr doesn't leave

152
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: in a couple of years.

153
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: Also, well, I mean you can just text him right now,

154
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: can't you?

155
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 4: Is that one of your guys a long long time?

156
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: Well, this is probably the time, Hey, Steve, I'm hearing

157
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: from anonymous sources. But it's just that idea of when

158
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: you've got a player long tenured, how does it end?

159
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: Generally not well? And you have time, right, most of

160
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: the time in any career, like a lot of folks

161
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: don't leave because they want to. Certainly in our profession,

162
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: that doesn't get to happen very often, right, you get

163
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 3: to say goodbye, and last week I think we had

164
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: it happened for three times, and that by my count,

165
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: those are the first three I remember in a long time,

166
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: one of which was Doug gottlieb our colleague here for years,

167
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: who's going on to coach full time. But you know,

168
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: and in a lot of other walks of life, sometimes

169
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: the contract's not renewed. Sometimes you know, they shift plans, younger, cheaper, outsourced.

170
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a million terms for it. But you

171
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: don't necessarily get to say, Okay, I'm working here till

172
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: I'm fifty five. I'm gonna take my gold watch and leave.

173
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 3: Not that retirement is necessarily in the cards for most

174
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 3: people at fifty five. But you get My point is

175
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: that you don't choose it, and certainly in professional sports,

176
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 3: that's a rare the rarest of all things. You know,

177
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: I've had a good run, I'm gonna go now two.

178
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 4: Same thing with coaching too, that rarely do you get

179
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 4: to stay with the one team for so long and

180
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 4: then you know, call it quits. Those days are over.

181
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you're hired to be fired in all

182
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: of these jobs, for sure, but certainly when it comes

183
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: to coaching outside of a few obvious outliers. When we

184
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 3: talk about back to the NFL for the moment, of

185
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: Harbaugh and Tomlin are the two that get talked about most.

186
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: Some folks wondering if Andy Reid steps away, if Patrick

187
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: Mahomes can't play this year, so that's in the offing

188
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: perhaps a little bit as well. But in the NBA,

189
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 3: it's a game of musical chairs. Like what Steve Kurz

190
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 3: done at Golden State, it was him and Pop and

191
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 3: Spolster quietly down in Miami. That's it. That's your big three.

192
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 3: Everything else has been a revolving door for the most part,

193
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: right with a couple of exceptions where guys got six,

194
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 3: maybe seven year, ten years. But even that shuffle up

195
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 3: and deal and as a player, the dream of playing

196
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: a long, meaningful career with one organization, that's just the

197
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 3: rarity anymore. I mean we think nostalgically, you know of

198
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 3: some of these guys that got to do it. Hel

199
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 3: Jordan didn't do it. No, Pippin didn't do it. I

200
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 3: mean David Robinson did. Uh, Tim Duncan did. A couple

201
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: of guys from San Antonio that shy and I mean

202
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 3: that guy could make one of those jersey quilts and

203
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: have enough teams left for a second, quite a lot.

204
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 4: Not quite like that though, Yeah.

205
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: Well, I mean that that's become a damn train, like

206
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 3: you're going to a wedding at this point with the

207
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: number of names that are on there. But but you

208
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 3: know what I mean, it's just for for Draymond Green.

209
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 3: At some point it's like, all right, you're still okay,

210
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 3: and we could probably move you to.

211
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 4: A high demand for him though you said probably move

212
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 4: high demand or not because of his contract. I mean,

213
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 4: if he wasn't making a lot of money.

214
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: Well, but that's the problem, right, It's the eating of

215
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 3: a contract. How much do you have to eat on it,

216
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 3: uh and ancillary parts that have to come back, right,

217
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: because I'm a contender. This is the argument I've made

218
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 3: with Lebron and some of these where it's like, ah,

219
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: they'll trade them. It's like, what contender is losing three

220
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: or four pieces of a rotation to bring in a

221
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: Lebron James or a Draymond Green? Right?

222
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 4: No, I mean they talk about the Knicks trying to

223
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 4: get Yanni's, but I'm like, we'd have to give up

224
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 4: too much to get Yanni's. I don't want to go

225
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: ahead and break our team apart, gohead do something like that.

226
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: I like that you went fast, that was good. Yeah,

227
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: but also you know you're now the E Cup champions.

228
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: You can't break.

229
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, We're exactly We're the check.

230
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: You got Colick with rundown blocks, you got Mickey Mouse

231
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: desperation heaves at the end of the game. That's right.

232
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: The dunk the Halls was today for those that missed it,

233
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 3: alternate programming for that Knicks comeback victory, which was fantastic.

234
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: They glitched out for a while, and this year they

235
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: actually had a game plan of how to handle it

236
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 3: when the technical things stopped working for a bit, so

237
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: that was the think they got.

238
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 4: Done by fifteen points in the h before they made

239
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 4: that come back. They certainly were down fifteen in the first.

240
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean if they were down fifteen late

241
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 3: and that that's when I turned on the dunk the

242
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 3: halls because it was bad. Yeah, they were playing terribly.

243
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: It was like and then all of a sudden, cartoons Stitch.

244
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 4: I was lighting to watch that. How many people were

245
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 4: watching that?

246
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 3: Look? I talked to some folks with some small kids,

247
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 3: and they just loved it, like, okay, so they watched

248
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 3: it on one the normal broadcast, but they had the

249
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,479
Speaker 3: kids were able to sit and watch.

250
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 4: On any by play. Yeah, who was doing it?

251
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 3: It was I forget it was calling the It was

252
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 3: separate calls because they'd be like, Mickey's got the ball,

253
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: Mickey drives. It was pretty funny. What was it kids

254
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 3: or it was adults? Okay, it was an alternate crew

255
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: with it.

256
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 4: It was fun.

257
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 3: You should put your between that and your lumber jacking. Yeah,

258
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: for your TV movie of the week. I mean, you're

259
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: you're just winning right there.

260
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 4: Use my voice for for animation like that.

261
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: I'm surprised you don't do voiceover.

262
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 4: You know who told me, I have hard voice.

263
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 3: You are a walking cartoon.

264
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 5: You know.

265
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: I had an actor on, a big time actor. I'll

266
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 4: tell you his name in a second, and I said,

267
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 4: he said, dude, you have the most amazing voice. I go,

268
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 4: let's do Finding Nemo too, or something like that. It

269
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 4: was Billy Bob Thornton that I had on the show.

270
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 3: Really was he promoting his work with the Box Masters?

271
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 4: Was I was promoted in that movie he was in

272
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 4: in the spaceship that was going through the Moon or

273
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 4: something like that. I don't know. I really don't remember

274
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 4: what movie it was he was promoting. He wasn't that

275
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 4: big at the time that I had him on. I

276
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 4: don't think that's how long ago. That's how old I am.

277
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: See now I want to know what movie was?

278
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was it was some movie that I had

279
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 4: to do with the spaceship or something like that.

280
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: I'm not well, he was in something called The Astronaut

281
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: farm Room Assumer.

282
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 4: Well, there you go. That that's probably it.

283
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: No, it was something bigger than that. He was at Armageddon.

284
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: Oh was he in that too?

285
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: Ninety eight?

286
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 4: Jeez, that's a long time ago.

287
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: Company, that's a long time. Oh he's an interesting guy.

288
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: He's made the rounds to last, and it's always a reminder,

289
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 3: you know, just the simple little acts of kindness. He's

290
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: a big deal. That show land man is really good.

291
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 3: If you haven't seen that, you was out, Yeah, but

292
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 3: you can check that out. Good cast. But he he's

293
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 3: very much one of those guys where you ask for

294
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: the autograph for the photo he stops.

295
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, here's a good guy.

296
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: Here's but just the idea. And his point was, I

297
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 3: don't have any of what I got if there's up

298
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: for these people, which is a good attitude dad. The

299
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: other is, you know, just a reminder. If you sign

300
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: a lot of autographs, that means the secondary market has

301
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: a lot of autographs, yes, which means people are more

302
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: likely to move on and stalk somebody else.

303
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: Yeah they won't. You hound you to go ahead and

304
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: make some money on.

305
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 3: It, right if yours are everywhere and it suddenly saturates

306
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 3: the market, that you sign it with a singular letter,

307
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: as I've seen some guys in a new Tops Marvel release,

308
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: just amazing. You got folks that are painstakingly Anthony Hopkins

309
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 3: eighty eight years old doing every letter of his name.

310
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,760

00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: pop culture and whatever. Brian Cranston for his card, he's

Speaker 3: those things to show their fandom and that bit of crossover,

328
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,680

Speaker 3: Charlie Brown Christmas, I may or may not look like

362
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: him in for a while. My daughter's had given me

363
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 3: a shirt from nazire locally that was the Charlie Brown shirt.

364
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 4: Do you know what was the thing making it surrounds

365
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 4: on the internet today?

366
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 3: What's that, buddy? I mean?

367
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 4: On Twitter today was people doing the Charlie Brown or

368
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 4: the Peanuts stands? You know what I'm talking about? Oh?

369
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 5: You know what.

370
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 3: It's funny you mentioned that because they asked the Bears.

371
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 3: They did one of their videos for social media, and

372
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 3: as they were leaving the practice field, they were all

373
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 3: naming different songs. Right, So this Christmas Chris Brown this

374
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 3: and just going down the line and Dj Moore starts

375
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 3: doing the dance while saying it's the Charlie Brown thing.

376
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: And he's completely just doing the head and side to

377
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 3: side with his feet like he's funny as hell. Like

378
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: he's just standing there.

379
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 4: On Twitter, there's like a group of different friends though,

380
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 4: But you have a group of like seven or eight

381
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 4: imitating the Peanuts characters on the way they danced, and

382
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 4: one person sitting down and playing the piano like like

383
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 4: Linus so or Schroeder. I think the Schroder excuse me, Schroeders.

384
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 3: So you know it was pointed out, and you know

385
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: for folks that missed it, you know what he does

386
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 3: is big speech during the paget I heard how he

387
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 3: how he drops the blanket when he says fear not

388
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 3: the second time in time.

389
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 4: He doesn't have the blanket in his hand.

390
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 3: By the way, the most underrepresented character in merch of

391
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 3: the Peanuts gang underrepresented. They've gone out of their way

392
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 3: to sell merch for pretty much everybody else on a

393
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: great level. Somehow Linus gets left behind. He's never solo.

394
00:18:58,800 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 4: That's terrible.

395
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 3: It's an injustice.

396
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 4: I can't believe it.

397
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: I'm just incensed by it. All. You know, He's also

398
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: insnced by a lot of things. Is Aaron Rodgers been

399
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 3: fairly quiet over the course of the year. He's taking

400
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 3: his lumps. I mean, it's Alex's favorite team. He's sitting

401
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 3: next to a Browns fan in Shay So the fact

402
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: that they haven't started slat fighting. Yeah, we need fired

403
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 3: for that.

404
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 4: Coming from Browns fan, stop it, you're evers fan. We

405
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 4: have a rule on my show. If you root for

406
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 4: a team that's a loser, you're gone, You're done, You're finished, Shaye.

407
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 4: Would you like to retort, Well, yes, I'm a Dolphin fan,

408
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 4: but we that that gets canceled up because I'm also

409
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 4: an Arizona Wildcat fan.

410
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: That's number one. Yeah.

411
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 4: No, forks up, Arnie, I always forget. You're a stinky

412
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 4: tea liver off. Wow.

413
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 3: Wow see what that did? Now you Now you've unleashed him.

414
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, well he went to Arizona State, the better school.

415
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 4: He should have studied harder. He wouldn't have to go.

416
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 3: He's got a curtain of distraction. Do you ever curtain

417
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 3: of distraction?

418
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 4: No, but that is pretty funny. I will give you

419
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 4: that abstraction. Even even Phelps did the curtain of distraction.

420
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 9: Yeah.

421
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was good. That's that's a funny thing.

422
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 4: That's a funny. It was a good time.

423
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. So there you go.

424
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 4: We we win the point. Let's look at the don't

425
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,719
Speaker 4: look at anything. Stop it, Aaron.

426
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 3: He doesn't want any facts what are you talking about,

427
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. So earlier in the week we had the

428
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,959
Speaker 3: the big kerfuffle over DK Metcalf suspended two games. They

429
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 3: can avoid the forty plus million dollars of his contract.

430
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 3: That's the other dirty part of it on the next level.

431
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 3: And when he went into the front row and swipe

432
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 3: towards a fan, you decide punch slap them, but also

433
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 3: a guy who was filmed saying I got him uh

434
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: and now as his lawyer and everything else. But it's

435
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 3: the the idea for met Gaff. He appealed to this point,

436
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: the fact that they haven't found one hundred people with

437
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: other phone videos leading up to this of what was said,

438
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 3: and because DK Metcalf said, hey, he said some unconscionable

439
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: things about mom and racial epithets, right, So all of that.

440
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: But Aaron Rodgers, when asked about the week that was

441
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: is they'll get ready to play without Metcalf, who'd been

442
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 3: playing better football, more consistent football the last couple of weeks,

443
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 3: more part of the offense than he had been in

444
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: a while. Rogers had this to say about fans.

445
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 9: There's always a lot of different things that are said,

446
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 9: some things that are benign and some things that aren't.

447
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 9: And you know, I think there's a mindset that you

448
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 9: pay pay for a ticket and say whatever the hell

449
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 9: you want. I think there should be some code of conduct.

450
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 9: Obviously that was intentional, and I think there was some

451
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 9: celebration afterwards on his part. Obviously, don't condone what DK did.

452
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: I understand.

453
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 9: You know, there's been a lot of crazy comments in

454
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 9: my way over the years, and uh, you know, the

455
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 9: truth is that that would never happen face to face.

456
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 9: I would you know, even some of the most hated

457
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 9: people that hate me the most in the cities that

458
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 9: I've played against over the year, especially in EFC North,

459
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 9: it's always pretty cordial when you see some of those

460
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 9: people out and about. But in that setting, you know,

461
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 9: there's a lot of things that are said. There's two

462
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 9: sides every story, and I support DK. I'll continue support DK.

463
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 9: And wow and uh, yeah, at disappointed that happened.

464
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you also had Mike Tomlin go down that

465
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: path going, hey, you know what, do I agree with it? No?

466
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 3: But I support my guy right trying to we's a

467
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: problem with that.

468
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 4: See, this is Mike, there's a problem with this. First

469
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: of all, this is why there's a press conference tomorrow

470
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: to clear the air out of this. But if we're

471
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 4: gonna let's just say, we're gonna take Aaron Rodgers' word

472
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 4: for everything, and you're going to back DK Metcalf and

473
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 4: that this guy was throwing epitats and did something about

474
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 4: his mom. Well, if that's true, you were the worst teammate.

475
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 4: Not only you, but everybody else on your team. They're

476
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 4: the worst teammates I've ever seen in my life. Because

477
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 4: you're gonna let some guys scream from the first row

478
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 4: or it's got to be loud enough for at least

479
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 4: DK Metcalf to hear him, and you all must have

480
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 4: heard him. Then if he was saying stuff like this

481
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 4: and not one of you did anything to stop the situation.

482
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 4: You didn't point in the stands, you didn't get security,

483
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 4: You didn't go to DK Metcalf and say it's gonna

484
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 4: be okay, don't listen to the guy. You didn't turn

485
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 4: around and tell him to shut the black up. You

486
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 4: did nothing. So if you're telling me that this was

487
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 4: a true story, you are the worst teammates in the

488
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 4: history of any sport I've ever seen in my life.

489
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 4: Now you're making me take that side there, Mike, because

490
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 4: you're telling me that this guy was throwing out racial

491
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 4: epitats and saying stuff about his mom and you're not

492
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 4: doing anything. So now you're making me take a side.

493
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 4: You're making me choose. I don't believe that was said.

494
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 3: Well, but because, but that's the question, right, But.

495
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: He said if it was said, Mike, his teammates would

496
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 4: have been having his back. They would have pointed to

497
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 4: the stands, they would have given the guy the finger,

498
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 4: they would have gotten security, they would have done something.

499
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 4: They wouldn't have turned their backs on a teammate like

500
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 4: DK Metcalf and say, okay, well just let the guy

501
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 4: keep saying your stuff about your mom.

502
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 3: But that that happened pretty fast. That went from zero

503
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 3: to sixty pretty fast. At least nobody would.

504
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 4: Portrayed only Dk Metcalf.

505
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 3: Nobody's the only guy that needed to hear and react

506
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 3: to it. Everybody else they here, it becomes noise, Right,

507
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 3: you're screaming a million things at me.

508
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 4: I don't We don't have any proof this was said.

509
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 4: There was audio. We don't have any audio this was.

510
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,239
Speaker 3: Said, right, That's that was my original point to it.

511
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 3: It's a he said, he said at this point, and

512
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 3: at this point they're backing their teammate.

513
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 4: Well, we'll see what the guy says in the press

514
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 4: conf ference tomorrow.

515
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 3: And I what do you think he's gonna say? I

516
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 3: want a bunch of money. This guy, this multi millionaire,

517
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: threatened me. I feared from my personate say something him.

518
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 4: He may have some proof that we don't know he

519
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: may say. And because I knew he was gonna accuse

520
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 4: me of this, that's why I made this recording. Here

521
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 4: you go.

522
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: But there, I mean, there is precedent right between these two.

523
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 3: They have gone at it before. No, he was it

524
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,959
Speaker 3: was a known thing that this guy thought in an

525
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 3: agitator before with the metcalf. That's okay to be well,

526
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: but it's a question of where's that line right and

527
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 3: that and this is where we don't have, you know,

528
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 3: one hundred percent knowledge of what was truly said here.

529
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 3: If if legitimately DKA is claiming that he shouted a

530
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: bunch of racial things, shouted about his mom and whatever,

531
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: and that is categorically, excuse me, categorically proven wrong, then

532
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 3: that's the worst of all things. Because we've got enough

533
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 3: of that in reality that we don't need a trumped

534
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 3: up charge to that. Well, right, we don't need We

535
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 3: don't want him to add invectives. We got plenty of those.

536
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 4: So Mike, you're if that's true, you're telling me a

537
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 4: guy can scream racial up at that's scream. Still nobody

538
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 4: are what they're saying about a player's mom. And security

539
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 4: does nothing. Security can't hear nothing. There was a security

540
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 4: on the situation.

541
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 3: That's the point. Right. If he yells at once, if

542
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 3: he's screaming it repeatedly, I gotta imagine that security actually

543
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 3: does go and do something. And that's and that's where

544
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 3: we've got a lot of gray in what this story is.

545
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 3: I don't what he's saying. He just said his government name.

546
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: Right, right. I believe that's what he said. I believe

547
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 4: that's what he said. And remember, I don't think DK

548
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 4: metcalf Fruy threw a punch. He just kind of, you know,

549
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 4: grabbed him by the shirt and kind of gave him

550
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 4: a little flick.

551
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 3: Well, it's enough for the NFL to have suspended him

552
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 3: two years, two games, and to potentially cost him forty

553
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 3: to fifty million dollars.

554
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 4: Right, And that's the problem is he's saying all this

555
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 4: to try to save him the forty to fifty million.

556
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 4: I don't think that's should cost him. I think the

557
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 4: two games is fine. The two games.

558
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 3: Avoid's part of his contract, right, and it should right

559
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 3: if that's the letter of the law of the contract

560
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 3: and you've determined that he violated the terms of the contract. Sorry,

561
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 3: the forty million's gone.

562
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but do you violate the terms of the contract

563
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 4: if somebody said something to you so heinous because some

564
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 4: people you know, by the law, Well, but you could

565
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 4: be attacked and you could defend yourself. If somebody says

566
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 4: stuff like that.

567
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 3: Well, then that's where this goes into a whole different

568
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 3: level of courts as opposed to the sometimes kangaroo court

569
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: that is the NFL judge jury's kind of system.

570
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 4: Well, that's why I'm looking forward to the press conference tomorrow. Yeah,

571
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 4: he's going to say he didn't say it, But I

572
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 4: want to know what else he's going to say to

573
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 4: the fact that, Well, but that's.

574
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: It, right, we'll get more clarity of it tomorrow. Yeah,

575
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 3: but in the interim, it's a bunch of he said,

576
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: he said, we've seen fan behavior. Rogers went on to

577
00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 3: kind of talk about the disintegration of society, and.

578
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 4: Somebody say, Aaron, did you hear it? Why didn't you

579
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 4: turn around? Why did you say something? Anybody else on

580
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 4: your team here it? Did your lineman hear it? Did

581
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 4: anybody hear it? Or anybody canna ask those questions? Or

582
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 4: are we so afraid to ask questions like that?

583
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 3: I think there's something to that right of where where

584
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 3: you take a conversation. I don't know how early in

585
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 3: Rogers availability this was asked, but I think you pushed

586
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 3: too hard. What do we see? Operation shut down? Folks

587
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 3: don't need to get their quotes for their their.

588
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 4: Yes and talking. That's true, You're right about that.

589
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that's right. I'm just saying that's reality.

590
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 4: Well, I want to know more and I can't wait

591
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 4: to hear what this guy's got to say and if

592
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 4: he's got any proof, I want to see what attorney's

593
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 4: gonna hire that will certainly say a lot, that's for sure.

594
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 3: Old rule of thumb. You know, there's three sides to

595
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 3: every story, yep, and the truth right. So what we'll

596
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 3: find out right in terms of that a little bit

597
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: more tomorrow we get into the legal Leese of it all.

598
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 3: The Steelers where we're looking at them right now to

599
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 3: nine and six season, they play the aforementioned Cleveland Browns. Again.

600
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: Why these guys aren't slap fighting, I don't know. But

601
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: for their schedule, they've had a good run You've gotten

602
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: more out of the run game. We enjoyed the video

603
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 3: of Aaron Rodgers telling Kenneth Gainwell what route to run

604
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: and then proceeding to pop a big play thereafter.

605
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 4: You know, who was it that Miles Garrett accused of

606
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 4: calling him Rachel surs and took the helmet off.

607
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

608
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 4: Come in, the NFL never suspended Mason Rudolph for doing

609
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 4: something like that again, saying racial epithets and stuff like that.

610
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 3: It comes back to.

611
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: Speculation.

612
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 4: Well, nobody else on the field heard that. It was

613
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 4: just Miles Garrett that heard that. Out of the other

614
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 4: twenty other twenty players that we're in on that play,

615
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 4: nobody else heard it, right, So that's why you have

616
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 4: to wait to see how this is good to playoff.

617
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 4: But you really it's hard to prove it. Like you said, Mike,

618
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 4: it's hard to prove unless you have audio, uh you know,

619
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 4: audio proof on that.

620
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean This is not Warner Wolf, this is

621
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 3: not the George Michaels sports machine of let's go to

622
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,239
Speaker 3: the audio tape and maybe maybe you can, maybe you can.

623
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 3: I don't know, uh, State of Michigan. Is it a

624
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 3: two way, two way thing? What? What's the knowledge of

625
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 3: being recorded and then using it in a court of law?

626
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 3: Do you just assume the fact that you're in a

627
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 3: stadium that you have no right of uh privacy.

628
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 4: You're you're in a public set, you have no right

629
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 4: of privacy.

630
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 3: And I gotta imagine there's got to be other people

631
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 3: in that section that had their phones up as soon

632
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 3: as he took step one towards that section, right.

633
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 4: Right, And if he did say it, Edie, you know

634
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 4: when DK Midcalf grabbed him, did DK Midcalf say, what

635
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 4: did you say about my mom? What did you call me?

636
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 4: Or did he say don't call me by that name?

637
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 4: That will tell a lot.

638
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: Also, well, the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. He might

639
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 3: have said one and the other already.

640
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: That's true.

641
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 3: You're right, you're right, I mean, like right now, it's

642
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 3: a lot of speculation, that's a lot of litigage, and

643
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 3: a lot of lawyers and a lot.

644
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 4: Of dollars, a lot of lawyers.

645
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: That's just like all the nollboards up and down the

646
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: four h five. You got lawyer, lawyer, lawyer, chargers, lawyer, lawyer, lawyer,

647
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: and another picture of Jim Harbaugh. Now let's go to

648
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 3: the news desk get an update from Breonna muro. We're

649
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: in their final game of the Night of the Long

650
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 3: Christmas Day. How you doing, Brehanna?

651
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 8: Good, guys, good, Okay. So the Nuggets are on top

652
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 8: of the Timberwolves ninety six to eighty six.

653
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: Nikola Jokic.

654
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 8: Nicola Jokic thirty two points, thirteen rebounds, and thirteen assists

655
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 8: for his fifteenth triple double of.

656
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 3: The season fifteen already.

657
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, so he actually becomes the third player in NBA

658
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 8: history to record multiple triple doubles on Christmas, only, joining

659
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 8: Oscar Robertson. And guess if you guys guess the other person,

660
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 8: they'll be like, actually impressed Lebron Jobbels.

661
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: No, I'm just thinking the guys that have played a

662
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 3: lot on Christmas, because Lebron certainly has complained about it enough.

663
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 3: So Arenie, you got it? You want to venture one more?

664
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 4: Guess other than Oscar?

665
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 8: Other than Oscar is somebody who's actually tied Oscar for

666
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 8: like another record for something else. Let's just throw that

667
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 8: out there.

668
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 4: Uh, Moses Malone, I'll say, oh my god, Russell Westbrook,

669
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 4: that was Oh I should I should guess that one.

670
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you guys like probably like the easiest

671
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 8: hint I could.

672
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 4: So that was the average of triple double.

673
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

674
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 4: There you that out? Yeah, that out all right, guys.

675
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 8: Elsewhere in the NBA, the Rockets curbs on the Lakers

676
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 8: one nineteen to ninety six. I'm n Thompson and Katie

677
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 8: combined for fifty one points in the win. The Warriors

678
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 8: defeated the Mavericks one twenty six to one sixteen. The

679
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 8: Spurs won their eighth straight game and got past the

680
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,719
Speaker 8: Thunder one seventeen to one oh two, and Jalen Brentson

681
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 8: scored thirty four points in the knicks comeback win against

682
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 8: the Cavaliers one twenty six to one twenty four. In

683
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 8: the NFL, the Broncos defeated the Chiefs twenty to thirteen.

684
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 8: Denver is still in play for the one seed in

685
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 8: the AFC, and if the Chargers lose on Saturday, Denver

686
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 8: can clinch the AFC West, the Vikings knocked off the

00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 3: tradition sports lots of them going to the wayside. Is

707
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 3: that good bad? There's just the circle of life as

708
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 3: it were. We'll talk about that as we get into

709
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 3: the next hour, but first we look to the world

710
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 3: of the NBA Arnie and once again the San Antonio Spurs. Yes,

711
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 3: led by Diaron Fox Victor wembin Yama. They've got a

712
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 3: good balanced attack going, a lot of young talent that

713
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 3: have come in in the reset of this franchise. Another

714
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 3: big win today one seventeen one oh two for the

715
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 3: third time in two weeks, including the semi finals of

716
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 3: the E Cup Tournament one by your New York Knicks. Yes,

717
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 3: the Spurs took down the Thunder. Now they're up to

718
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: five losses on the season, three of them at the

719
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 3: hands of the Spur and for us in sports talk radio,

720
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 3: becomes delicious theater. Let's talk about this a moment. Well

721
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 3: Sga the reigning MVP. Everybody's darling. It was out signing auditts.

722
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 3: That was one of my favorite things today was everybody

723
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 3: going into the arenas into the stadium, either handing pre

724
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 3: autographed stuff out to kids that they saw in the

725
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 3: stands or stopping as they got off the bus. Nice

726
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 3: little little thing. Now match that up to their actual

727
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 3: signature when they're trying to sign one hundred and fifty

728
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 3: of them in three minutes as opposed to sitting down

729
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 3: at a table verifying. Those will be interesting. But SGA

730
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 3: had some comments when asked about the Spurs and the

731
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 3: challenge they represent.

732
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 5: You don't lose to a team three times in a

733
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 5: row and a short span without them being better than you.

734
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 5: So we have to get better. You have to look

735
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 5: in the mirror, and that's everybody from top to bottom

736
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 5: if we want to reach old.

737
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 3: To men goal one seventeen one two the final that

738
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: he's right about that they shot from the field.

739
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 4: He's he's he's one hundred percent right with that. I mean,

740
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 4: when you lose three times, the other team is better

741
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 4: and you've got to go ahead and get better and

742
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 4: work on that. San Antonio is a good story, but

743
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 4: let's be honest, and you talked about tradition. Is there

744
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 4: a lot of people out there that are saying, oh

745
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 4: my goodness, O CA see san Antonio, that's the next

746
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 4: Lakers New York Knicks or Boston New York Knicks or

747
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 4: Boston Lakers or or anything like that. No, we you know,

748
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 4: we we will watch the game. We'll enjoy it, we'll

749
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 4: talk about it, but we I don't see this as

750
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 4: like the next big rivalry or anything to that effect.

751
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I I just don't see

752
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 4: that happening. And that's what's hurting the NBA right now.

753
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 4: Not a lot of good rivalries among the top teams.

754
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 4: Even Okac, who won the championship, you know who's you know,

755
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 4: you know, bringing them up there, the number one team,

756
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 4: But yet we just kind of watched them as a

757
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 4: passing phase. It's like, oh, they're a great team, we're

758
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 4: enjoying it, but we don't watch them as like the

759
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 4: old Chicago Bulls or the old Lakers or the old

760
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 4: Celtics or anything like that.

761
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 3: Well, some of it goes back to our original discussion.

762
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 3: When you're battling for for looks and for attention span.

763
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 3: It's still December, right, so we're not we're not getting

764
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 3: to that critical mass.

765
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 4: So almost halfway through here, you know, I mean, come on,

766
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 4: ten games away from being halfway through the season, al right.

767
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

768
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 4: You know, if you're not going to catch on by then,

769
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 4: I mean, how many more games are you gonna You're

770
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 4: gonna wait, till the final you know, like baseball the

771
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 4: final twenty games of the year or something.

772
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 3: Well, but we always talk about Christmas Day being the kick.

773
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 3: Yeah for this, right, you had the E Cup and

774
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 3: you've had all these this run and E Cup does nothing.

775
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 4: I don't know why you have to keep filling that

776
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 4: up that I mean, I'll ask people in a week

777
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 4: from now who won the NBA Cup and nobody will

778
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 4: have a cloth.

779
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 3: That's fine, I won't even remember. But it got them

780
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 3: some juice for the short term, juice to get them

781
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 3: guys actually played hard basketball because they saw I'll give

782
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: you another half a million dollars at the end of

783
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 3: the line, there was a pot of gold at the

784
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 3: end of the rainbow. So you actually got an honest

785
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 3: effort in December from a lot of teams that you

786
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: might not otherwise.

787
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 4: How about we throw this out there. Every game you

788
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 4: play during the eighty two game schedule, if you lose,

789
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 4: you don't get paid for that game, but if you win,

790
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 4: you get the both.

791
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 3: That's like saying if you don't get any of your

792
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 3: pick rights, you don't get paid for that segment.

793
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 4: There you go, I'm all for that too. Don't think

794
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 4: I'm not for that. I'm behind that.

795
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 3: If you until the chick's a little smaller, because that

796
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 3: you lose twice because you probably lost in your picks

797
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 3: and now you're losing your your check. You don't want

798
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 3: to do that. Yeah, you don't want to go on

799
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 3: that road. What are you doing?

800
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 5: No?

801
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 3: But it's everything comes in cycles, and you've got to

802
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 3: have a starting point. And if this is where we're

803
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 3: at after two weeks of hey they've beaten us three times,

804
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 3: so now you can become the hero or the villain

805
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 3: in that story. I mean, because okay, see with the

806
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 3: number of draft picks they got, and that's why it's

807
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 3: the fun, funny, silly season kind of business for any

808
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 3: of these star players, Like, hey, we've got one hundred

809
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 3: first round draft picks over the next five years. You

810
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 3: want to hit, Yeah, but.

811
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 4: Will that mean anything when the playoffs come around? I mean,

812
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 4: if they both make it to the Western Conference finals,

813
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 4: is that going to mean anything that?

814
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 3: No, But it's more about the sustainability right year to year. Yeah,

815
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 3: we look at it and we try to compartmentalize it

816
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 3: and put it in the vacuum. But you've got the

817
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 3: long road to a dynasty has to start somewhere, and

818
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 3: it did last year.

819
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 4: He pumped the brakes on that. Slow down there, my friend,

820
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 4: slow down on the dynasty word on the d word. There,

821
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 4: got a long way to go on that.

822
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,479
Speaker 3: Okay, can you never say that again because that's cut

823
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 3: and print. You know Alex is going to throw that

824
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 3: back at you for the rest of your life. But again,

825
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: the point of becoming great, can we go to that?

826
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 3: Can we stipulate to that? Does that not offend your

827
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 3: sensibilities to Yes, just because you told me how you

828
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 3: started working in the Stone ages earlier in your origin story.

829
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 2: Just because you threw that out there.

830
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's like you want to argue about what

831
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 3: words we can use to describe things. If you want

832
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 3: to be great and sustaining, you've got to win the

833
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 3: first one and set yourself up for the second and

834
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 3: go from there. And right now, guess what if the

835
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 3: Clippers continue their futility, who's got their pick? It's because

836
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 3: of the m v P trade that the thunder would

837
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 3: get that pick from the Clippers as well. We'll go

838
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: back into the idea of tradition. He's already I'm biking.

839
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 3: This is fox
