13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: this is awesome. I'm looking at my text chain last

14
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: night and it suddenly became a Hockey Night in America.

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: Hockey Night in America. It was good. So yeah, we're

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: gonna start the show talking about the hockey a A

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: welcome in, don't worry, don't worry. We got some Joe

Speaker 1: Flacco talking about TikTok dancing. Eddie House is gonna join us,

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: of course, he's the two thousand and eight NBA Championship team.

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: He was on that Boston team, he played with Lebron.

21
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: He's got a couple of sons that are really really

22
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: talented players. Plus I just love and value his basketball opinion.

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: He'll join us at twenty five after the hour, we

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: got some Jalen Brunston and Josh Hart to talk about.

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: Mark Stein will join us next hour, so we've got

26
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: plenty of hoops. I know Game four US tonight, it

27
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: is a pivotal game, and we'll talk about it. But

28
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: I I actually like hockey, but I hate this one

29
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: big part about hockey. And look, obviously the pieces are

30
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: kind of similar to I know the sport is different,

31
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: but there's some similarities there to soccer, and I think

32
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: some of the similarities to soccer not as much so

33
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: are in this one thing. First again, welcome in. The

34
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: US Open is ongoing, and we'll we'll we'll talk about Oakmont.

35
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: I also want to kind of quiz Dan Byron, like

36
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: I saw these pictures of the ninety four Open, and

37
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: there's now they've made it into this linksy track and

38
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: now it's like old golf links golf whatever, whereas before

39
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: Oakmont was almost felt like classic American style country club golf,

40
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know, do we like this better? It's

41
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: this a better way of you took the same course,

42
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: but it's completely different now. But last time, I'm watching

43
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup finals and it sort of dawned on

44
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: me as I'm looking at my text thread and watching

45
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: the game take place, that I knew how it was

46
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: gonna end, and it was going to be a I

47
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: don't know it was a self fulfilling prophecy, or there

48
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: would just be there would just be a lot of

49
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: confirmation bias in it. Did anyone think that the best

50
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: team won last night? That's I guess my question. Do

51
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: you think the best team won? And my answer would be, well, no,

52
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: that actually didn't happen. Edmonton's taking on Florida. I thought

53
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: Florida was the better team. I thought Florida was the

54
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: team that was dominant in overtime, and yet they lose

55
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: five to four. Edmonton ties the series into a piece

56
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: and the last three games have all gone to overtime.

57
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: But my point is more geez, I thought, you know,

58
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: and I don't profess to know much anything about hockey,

59
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: and like I'm the track classic American sports fan, ninety

60
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: five percent of us didn't play hockey growing up, never

61
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: played hockey on skates like it like. The extent of

62
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: my hockey years were the mid nineties ninety three and

63
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: ninety four. Specifically, that's when Wayne Gretzky took the Kings

64
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: to the Stanley Cup finals, and that's when NHL ninety

65
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: four was out and there was also Blades of Steel.

66
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: Those are that's the extent of my the deep hockey

67
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: years for me and Buyer, I'm sure you know more

68
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: about hockey than I do. Sam. I read your texts

69
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: and I agree with you. My issue with hockey is

70
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: the randomness at times of how goals are scored in

71
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: many ways takes away from who's actually the better team.

72
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: And I get the larger sample size of a season

73
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: is different, and ultimately the good teams the good teams.

74
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: But when you're in a playoff hockey and everyone who's

75
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: a hockey fan loves to have the same narrative, nothing

76
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: better than overtime hockey. But I would say there's lots

77
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: of things better than overtime hockey because in other sports again,

78
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: and look this happens in football, where a team will dominate,

79
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: but they got a turnover here or there, or a

80
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: couple of crazy plays can happen some in basketball, where

81
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: you know a team could play very well and you

82
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: catch a heater end of the game. He hit a

83
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: bunch of threes. It happened with the Pacers going back

84
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: to the next series, Game one. But by and large,

85
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: if a team is dominant is better for ninety five

86
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: percent of overtime, by and large, are gonna win, and

87
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: they'll be up so much you know won't matter. Not

88
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: the case with hockey. I think the two things I

89
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 1: dislike about hockey is one hockey fan is the male

90
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: version of the WNBA fan. Hey, you haven't paid attentions

91
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: for twenty five years, and then when you do pay

92
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: attention to us, you don't know what you're talking about.

93
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: That's annoying. And then the annoying game action thing is

94
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: I just have a tough time saying that Edmonton was

95
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: in any way better than Florida last night, specifically in overtime,

96
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: because I thought Florida out played him and then Edmonton

97
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: ends up with a goal.

98
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: I thought that Edmonton played I mean, they were down

99
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: three to nothing, so they obviously played well enough in

100
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: the second period to even it up at three, and

101
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: then they get the goal to go ahead. I think

102
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: Florida played better at the end and then into overtime

103
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: that I felt that they had all of the momentum.

104
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: But I think that is part of it as well

105
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: is as someone who isn't a huge hockey fan and

106
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: also can get annoyed by a hockey fan. What I

107
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: loved about this overtime and other overtimes. Not only do

108
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: ioas Sam and I now have a vested interest in

109
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: Edmonton winning, but there's also this balance. There's this balance

110
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: of do you play it safe, do you go for it?

111
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: What do you do? And if you go for it,

112
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: does that leave you week on the back end if

113
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: there's something that leaks out And that's what you got

114
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: last night. Florida actually had had a great chance in

115
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: overtime to win it and was unable to cash in.

116
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: I felt that they put more pressure on Edmonton. Edmonton

117
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: really didn't have any good chances and ultimately their goal

118
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: comes on a bit of a fluke play. But it's

119
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: also no difference. And this may not change your opinion, Doug,

120
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: but we've had hot goalies in the past, right where

121
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: teams are just they've got the guy in net and

122
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: there's nothing that you can do about it. And I

123
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: think that when you have just the the balance, specifically

124
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: in overtime of sudden death in her take all, were

125
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: every single possession, every almost pass of the puck could

126
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: alter the game. I find that very exciting.

127
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: Uh, Sam, where are you on? Going off of your

128
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: comments that you agree with me? But again Dan made

129
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: bigger comments, some having to do with what I'm talking about,

130
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: but obviously more thorough in terms of his analysis.

131
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: What's your what's your question?

132
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: Just like, well, again, when you walk away from last night,

133
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: I do you think the better team won? Do you

134
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: think that I? And is? And is it? That? Was

135
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: it exciting to the point where it's bringing you.

136
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: Back, bringing me back to watch the next game?

137
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: Yeah?

138
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

139
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 3: I think this has been I don't know how to

140
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: size up these teams, Like I know, Florida is technically

141
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: better because they bested the Oilers last year and they

142
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 3: were the favorite coming into this Stanley Cup. All I

143
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 3: know is that, like you know, three of the four

144
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 3: games have been over time have been pretty exciting.

145
00:08:59,760 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: Uh.

146
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: You know, you've got teams winning on the road this

147
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: is a good product. I'm not a hockey guy. I

148
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 3: don't I don't know how to size these teams up,

149
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 3: but I know that the Oilers have a couple of

150
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: huge stars in Dry Sydle and McDavid and the.

151
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: Last night Why did you like last night's game?

152
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: That's a great question.

153
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: I feel like the I feel like the Edmonton Oilers

154
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: kind of have this like Pacers kind of energy, like

155
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm just pulling for him, and I know

156
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 3: that they're not They're not the better team than than

157
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City, but they find ways to at least tie

158
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 3: up the series or take a lead like the Pacers

159
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 3: did in this in the series. And that's just got me,

160
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 3: got me hooked. I yeah, it's a good It's been

161
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 3: a good fine, a good product.

162
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: All right, Jay Stu, Now again, I'm gonna Jay Stu,

163
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't know where you come in on hockey. I mean,

164
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: we you and I have talked about it some, but

165
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: for for people don't know, Jay Stu was a huge

166
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: part of the Jim Rome Show for a long time.

167
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: How many years you with with Rome?

168
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: Uh? Fourteen years?

169
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: Fourteen? It's actually the numb I thought, but I said

170
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: it and I was like, is that the right number?

171
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 4: Andy Reid? Andy? Just for listeners who want to want

172
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: a reference, my time with Jim Rome mirrored Andy Reid's

173
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 4: time with the Eagles.

174
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: Wow.

175
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: Okay, so An you tell me you want to think about, man,

176
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 4: how long will Jess do with Jim Rome? Think Andy

177
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 4: Reid with the Eagles.

178
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: That's actually very helpful.

179
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: I bring it up because and I don't know if

180
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: Rome's affinity for hockey was real or just radio creation,

181
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: but I will say that you guys talk more hockey

182
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: than anybody. I mean, I honestly, my thought, well our

183
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: thought always when I was at ESPN Radio was Rome's

184
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: talking hockey. Everybody else wins because the second you talk

185
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: about hockey, people go, Nick, don't care, right, And you

186
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: guys talk hockey some like regular season, early playoffs, not

187
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: just Stanley Cup finals. Were you Have you been as

188
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: engaged and locked in on hockey even during those fourteen years.

189
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: No. Never.

190
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: It's a sport that has never once with me. I

191
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 4: have good friends that are hockey fans, good friends that

192
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 4: are Kings fans, and they've always said, man, you got

193
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: to go. Once you go, you'll be hooked.

194
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: I've gone NASCAR Guy says the same thing. By the way,

195
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: Nascar guy always goes, you gotta go.

196
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 4: Go, and neither sport got me when I went in

197
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 4: the the premise of your question, did the better team win?

198
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: That assumes two things. That assumes I watched, and that

199
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 4: assumes that even if I did watch, I would have

200
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 4: the sophistication to know which team is better. To your point,

201
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 4: one of the things that turns me off about the

202
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 4: sport is how random it is. Especially this is the

203
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 4: part that really gets me. When there's that the puck

204
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 4: is in front of the goalie and the goalie hasn't

205
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: secured it, and everyone is just chopping the hell out

206
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 4: of the ice to hit the puck and then it

207
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 4: goes off the goalie's leg and into the into the goal.

208
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 4: I see zero gill and that. So it's hard for

209
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 4: me to get with stuff.

210
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: Like that that I completely agree with you on that,

211
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: and I normally agree with you on the level of sophistication.

212
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: Like it's like when I watch soccer highlights or I

213
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: watch halftime of soccer, the analysis is so weird because

214
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: they talk about spirit and energy, Like just tell me

215
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: who's playing better and why tried to explain me why

216
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: something's playing better. I don't know. Last time I was

217
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: watching and I did really agree with Sam. I just

218
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: remember looking down at my phone and Sam had just

219
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: texted us saying like they're dominating in overtime, and I

220
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I mean they're not dominating in the score, obviously,

221
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: but it does feel like Edmonton is just staving off

222
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: losing this thing play after play, just surviving. So I

223
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: like the sophistication as well. Jay s Douo and I'm

224
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: with you, it's never really resonated. I Alsos thought it

225
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: was cool. I'm like, yeah, it's cool sport, it's really hard.

226
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know anything about it.

227
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: You know, there there is something, and it's a reason

228
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: why we say there's nothing better than playoff hockey, because

229
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: you don't get this sense of urgency in the regular season.

230
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: And for as much as we may love the five

231
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: minutes that they play three on three, still a team

232
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: you know, ends up ends up winning and maybe they don't,

233
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: and then you just move on to the next game.

234
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: Maybe it's exciting for those five minutes, but there is

235
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 2: something about this urgency, of the sudden death nature of

236
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: it where even the goal last night ended up being,

237
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: you know, a situation where it was two passes earlier

238
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: that probably set up the goal. And I know that's

239
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 2: not for everybody, but that's to my point of why

240
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 2: every possession or what you do with the puck is

241
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: another opportunity to win or lose the game. You may

242
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: look at it from a perspective of, well, there are

243
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: no goals, just like Game two when they didn't score

244
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: any goals in the first overtime, but twenty minutes you

245
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: have a back and forth of this game could be

246
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: decided on this sort of play. Honestly, as somebody who

247
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: was cheering for Edmonton last night, the first five minutes

248
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: of overtime felt like twenty minutes of game time because

249
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: it didn't seem like they were in control, and you're

250
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: just like, my goodness, when is this going to When

251
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: are you gonna be able to do something here? It

252
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: felt like Florida had all the chances and all the momentum,

253
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: and I remember looking up at the clock and I'm like, wow,

254
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: there's only like five point twenty that's gone by in

255
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: this overtime session. Ultimately, from what you guys are saying,

256
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: how the game ends is an indicative of how the

257
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: end of the game was played, and that's what's frustrating

258
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: to you. But I just look at it as like,

259
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: if you have a dog in the fight, every single possession,

260
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: every single pass that you have could set up that goal.

261
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: And that's what that's what makes it interesting. It's met

262
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: it interesting to me with a with a dog in

263
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: this fight.

264
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: It's a fair way to look at it's a fair persective.

265
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: But yes, that's ultimately I do sometimes become a result

266
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: orienton like I don't I don't understand, and it hurts

267
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: my desire to view the sport because I just don't

268
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: understand or maybe I do, or say maybe that's that's

269
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: that's hockey. It's like we talk about that space.

270
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the funny thing as well. Just quickly, like

271
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: as we're having this conversation, we're talking and I'm not

272
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: pigging on Sam. I think that this is a this

273
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: is a legitimate thing that goes on. We're looking at

274
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: Florida as being the halves and Edmonton being the have

275
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: nots for what's not happened in hockey. Edmonton is home ice.

276
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 2: They both were three seeds in their conferences. Edmonton actually

277
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: finished with more points this season. They have the best

278
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: player in all of hockey. So there are all these

279
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: seemingly inherent advantages towards Edmonton that we really don't pay

280
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: attention to because we look at the Panthers as the

281
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: defending Stanley Cup champs, and we look at Edmonton as

282
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: trying to break through with Canada and again Canadian streak. Yeah,

283
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: and I think that's awesome. I actually think it's awesome

284
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: that it's it's a bit of the opposite. So like

285
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: we try compare it to the NBA, that's not necessarily

286
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: the case. And I'm talking as a guy that didn't

287
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: care about last year's Stanley Cup, even with Edmonton in it.

288
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: There is something about this year's that just brought me

289
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: in and I have no idea what it was. And

290
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the NBA and having the

291
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: playoffs be how they played out. But my buddy back

292
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: in Wisconsin that I visited a couple of weeks ago,

293
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: who I never thought would ever watch a hockey game.

294
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: We're sitting at Buffalo Wild Wings eating and goes. It's

295
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: been really good because I've watched it more than the NBA,

296
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: and I found that very interesting.

297
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: It was a Buffalo wild wings order.

298
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: I did a boneless with some honey barbecue, garlic palm,

299
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: and I think I did a medium with it.

300
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: They have a new they have like a new honey

301
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: barbecue ranch or something like all combining ones.

302
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 5: Yummy.

303
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:52,840

00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: I was watching I think it was on social media

312
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: show the ninety four Open at Oakmont. And it's like

313
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: a completely different course, right. It's like someone's like photoshop,

314
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: like if you cut out all the trees, what do

315
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: you think of transformation of this course?

316
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 5: Yeah?

317
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: And it's funny because I was thinking about this driving

318
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: in because they were talking about it as I was

319
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: listening to the broadcast. And this has been like that

320
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: for the last couple of opens, but it's always remains

321
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: a story. And it's crazy because it's named Oakmont, you

322
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: would think there'd be just tons of oak trees. No,

323
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: not the case. But yeah, I don't necessarily can you

324
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: call it Oakman if there's no oaks? Right? Something we

325
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 2: can get into later.

326
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: No, we get into now.

327
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: I mean, oh, okay, all right, I'm sorry, house on

328
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: hold them.

329
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: So no, no, he's we'll get him a second. So

330
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: what was the impetus behind the course change? So because

331
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: it is a dramatic change, yes, like it's literally from

332
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: country club golf to Lynskulf.

333
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: So prior to the two thousand and seven US Open,

334
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: they wanted to restore Oakmont to what its original layout was,

335
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: and that was basically no trees. And the stories they

336
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: told telling up to that point is they would sometimes

337
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: go out at night to cut the trees down so

338
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: membership wouldn't necessarily know that they were cutting trees down.

339
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: And after a while, all of a sudden, all these

340
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: trees were cut down. You know, wait, like wait a second, hey,

341
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: that's missing. But it was to reflect and restore to

342
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: what the course was from the beginning from Henry Phones

343
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: then Doug. There's also been this move away from more

344
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: link style. Trees don't help grass grow. You're seeing a

345
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: lot more courses remove trees. It's better for the grass,

346
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 2: it's better for the turf. But this was more to

347
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 2: be true to what Oakmont originally was, and it went

348
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 2: under a recent restoration, which has been the main story

349
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: heading into this open where gil Hans took it over

350
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: and they've taken parts of the design that the different

351
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 2: designs that have occurred early on in Oakmont days and

352
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 2: tried to blend them into what is this current course.

353
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 2: But it did not have trees in its early going,

354
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: and the trees just ended up growing and growing throughout

355
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: the years. But that was the initial reason why they

356
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: decided to take them down prior to the seven Open.

357
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: It is interesting, as you point out, you had so

358
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: many different course designers coming in, it becomes you know,

359
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: I had no idea that's what it originally was. I

360
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: just didn't. But on some levels, when you have multiple

361
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: course designers, it's like when you have a really cool house,

362
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: It's like, did you have different contractors here? Like, no,

363
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: they redid this in Oa and they redid this, and

364
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, in fifteen and we just redid this or whatever,

365
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: and sometimes you get different tastes, but it is definitely

366
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: a linksy style. Now. It definitely looks like the original

367
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: game of golf, if you will, and it looks crazy, crazy, difficult.

368
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: And there are some that don't like that it doesn't

369
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: have trees. And there was even some conversation of this

370
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: week that you know, is it too far one way

371
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: as opposed to the other, because when you and I

372
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 2: play golf or others play golf, trees do make a difference.

373
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: They absolutely do. But I don't know if it's necessarily

374
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 2: needed at Oakmont just because of the defense is how

375
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: fast their greens are. When the US Open puts the

376
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 2: rough like this, you're getting scores like this.

377
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: All right, let's turn from the US Open to the

378
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. Eddie House won in an NBA championship in

379
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. Dude is awesome breaking it down

380
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: TV Radio joins us now on the Doug Gottlieb Show

381
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Eddie, what's what's your what's your

382
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: EVL of what's going? What went wrong for the thunder

383
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter in Game three?

384
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 6: I think, uh, just Rick Carlisle his the way he

385
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 6: uh changes defenders on Shay, so Shay has to face

386
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 6: you know, say is so talented, you know, obviously the

387
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 6: league MVP. But I think what happened was picking him

388
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 6: up ninety four feet wearing him down. And I think

389
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 6: what okay C needs to do is make an adjustment.

390
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 6: And that's what I'm looking for tonight, to see what

391
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 6: kind of adjustment uh daggonof is gonna make as far

392
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 6: as because what I would do, I would take Shaye

393
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 6: off the ball. I would not allow him until the

394
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 6: fourth quarter. I wouldn't have him bring the ball up.

395
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 6: You know, I will have him get the ball with

396
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 6: a live dribble as opposed to having to bring the

397
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 6: ball up and have to fight ninety four feet to

398
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 6: get to his spot and then everybody else just standing around. No,

399
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 6: I will run my offense through somebody else. Jalen Williams

400
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 6: has to step up and then from there in the

401
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 6: fourth quarter, state could go to work. You just want

402
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 6: to try to conserve is as much energy for him

403
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 6: as you can.

404
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you think they're tired? Do you think that's

405
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: one of the things hurting the thunder?

406
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 4: No?

407
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 6: Man? No, Yeah, A young young man they're not tired. Man,

408
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 6: You remember how you was when you was twenty six

409
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 6: twenty seven, or you was twenty three twenty four, You

410
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 6: wasn't You didn't get tired and you wanted to play.

411
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 6: I don't think that they're tired. I think that you

412
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 6: can wear on somebody, you know what I mean, and

413
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 6: you can make it where you're uncomfortable, and I don't

414
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 6: think more so than being tired. I think Shay this

415
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 6: was uncomfortable the whole time because he's usually able to

416
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 6: just get to a spot moved easily, but they made

417
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 6: him have to work for everything. So I won't buy

418
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 6: the tiredness because you know, anybody that won a championship,

419
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 6: anybody that played in the playoffs, anybody has that long run.

420
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 6: You all go through it, but especially if when you

421
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 6: in the finals. Man, there's no uh, you can't use

422
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 6: that as a crutch or.

423
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: Excuse hey, help me out, Eddie. Can you figure out

424
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: Tyre's Haliburton. There's some games that he plays where he

425
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: just kind of plays and floats and doesn't have a

426
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: huge impact, and then there are other games in which

427
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: he feels way more aggressive and he does have a

428
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: huge impact. I know it's just kind of unique. What

429
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on Halliburton and why some games he's

430
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: just not he's just not dominating in any way.

431
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 6: Well, he does in different ways. Right as far as assistance, right,

432
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 6: he always his assist numbers are always pretty much up.

433
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 6: I think the fact of the matter is that he

434
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 6: has to be aggressive offensively. And sometimes it's a traditional

435
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 6: point guard. You're a traditional point guard. You played that position.

436
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 6: So sometimes you're not going to have a high you're

437
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 6: not gonna have a lot of points in certain games.

438
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 6: But then you got to understand that that happy medium,

439
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, where you're like, Okay, I

440
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 6: have to be more aggressive and this series, and that's

441
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 6: the thing about it. Every series is different, every game

442
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 6: is every quarter is different, every half is different, every

443
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 6: game is different. And I believe that he understands that

444
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 6: he has to put his foot on the gas for

445
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 6: them to be for them to win. And it's and

446
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 6: being aggressive. You know, people mix it up when when

447
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 6: when we say be aggressive, that doesn't necessarily mean that

448
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 6: you have to the ball all the time. That means

449
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 6: just put pressure and be aggressive and you can make

450
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 6: the right play, whether it be a play for yourself

451
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 6: or a play for others. That's what I when I

452
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 6: say aggressive, you know, and a lot of people think

453
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 6: about aggressiveness is oh, you just got to go score,

454
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 6: You got to get up thirty shots. And now sometimes

455
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 6: you don't have to do that. Sometimes you don't.

456
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: Eddie House, our guest. You're at the Doug Gottlieb Show

457
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. All right, let's uh, well, let's

458
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: get around the NBA just a little bit. Kevin Durant.

459
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks he's gonna be traded. Where's the best spot

460
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: for him?

461
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: Oh?

462
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 6: Man, you know it's it's a lot of good destinations

463
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 6: for him. If I was okay, see, even though they're

464
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 6: in this thing right now, they got a ton of

465
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 6: assets as far as draft picks and things like that.

466
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 6: And if you trade a guy like KD, then you're

467
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 6: looking to basically rebuild, you know, if you're a phoenix.

468
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 6: So I will, okay, see, would be somebody that I

469
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 6: will be interested in. I'm not sure what everything that

470
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 6: the Rockets have over there, what they can make happen,

471
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 6: but they're red, they're ready made right now to keep

472
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 6: trying to push I think maybe Jalen Green and do

473
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 6: you want to get off a youngster that that fast.

474
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 6: I don't know, you know what I mean for somebody

475
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 6: that's old improving older, I should say improving. Uh so

476
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,480

Speaker 6: be a happy marriage between okay see and uh for

478
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,840

486
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: If if you're the Celtics.

487
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 6: What do you do, Well, you got to look at uh,

488
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 6: you know, a Drew Holliday contract. You got to look

489
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 6: at a Christaps Porzingis, who has you know, shown that

490
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 6: he's been you know, injury prone. Uh you know, I

491
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 6: don't know what was going on last I mean this

492
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 6: past season. They still hasn't been disclosed what kind of

493
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 6: illness that he had. But the fact of the matter

494
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 6: that he wasn't there. But he's the people Christoph KP

495
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 6: is the people's champ. Everybody loves him, not only in

496
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 6: when you go into the garden, but when you on

497
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 6: the road and when he comes out, the people go

498
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 6: crazy for him.

499
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: Right.

500
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 6: So I think that you are, you know, Sam Houser, though,

501
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 6: I think those are the contracts that you could look

502
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 6: at and you know, you could try to put something

503
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 6: together and see if you know, if Kadie com if

504
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 6: you're still didn't win mold right now, Jalen Brown, I

505
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 6: don't think that you. I don't think that you get

506
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 6: rid of Jalen Brown. I don't to me the readon

507
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 6: why I wouldn't trade Jalen Brown because Jason Tatum's not there,

508
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 6: and you have to have that star power there, and

509
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 6: you have to have two star powers, you know, and

510
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 6: I think that I think that that will be like

511
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 6: kind of the way to go. So you have to

512
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 6: unload some of these other other contracts. I wouldn't get

513
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 6: rid of Dereck White. I wouldn't get rid of Dereck

514
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 6: White at all. He does so much Eddie House.

515

Speaker 3: at Alcoholic Beverage. Mike Harmon hosts here at FSR. He

562
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 3: makes this stuff, the Sweetish Glug and it's fantastic. You

563
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: heat it up on the stove for a minute.

564
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 4: Or two.

565
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 3: Get it warm, put it in a mug, and it's

566
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 3: like wine and brandy and spices, and it is.

567
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: It is quite good.

568
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 3: Otherwise, Yeah, it's like it's never really really winter here,

569
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 3: so it's still sticking with a beer.

570
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I bring it up because I don't know why

571
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: this dropped my head. If you've ever had a Pims cup,

572
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: Pims is the alcohol, but a Pims cup is a

573
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: just a great summer drink. And I'd like, I wanted

574
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: to make this summer the summer of the I brought

575
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: the Pyms cup to Green Bay, but it's not warm

576
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 1: until like Monday, it's gonna start getting really warm, and

577
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: I just I struggle with my Pins cup. So I'm

578
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: suggesting Pim's cup to anybody out there sits down and

579
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: and wants to make themselves the summer's drink.

580
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: It is Pims originally a gin. It I feel like,

581
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 2: is it big in England?

582
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: Pms it is being in England. I don't think it's

583
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a gin. Don't think it's gin.

584
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: We'll research. In the meantime, let's get to a game.

585
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 5: This is game time on The Doug Gottlieb Show.

586
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: It's a gin based liqueur gin based. Okay, give me

587
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: a pins, I'll take a Pims.

588
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: It's definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely a sophisticated sound to ordering

589
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: a drink.

590
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: Pims.

591
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,840

594
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: We start out talking some hockey Canadian hockey teams that

595
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 2: you would want to win a Stanley Cup. As we

596
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: try to get the Cup, I just want it at

597
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: least out of the sun Belt, but across the border

598
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: would be is great as well. We want Canada to

599
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 2: win a Cup at least Sam and I do what

600
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 2: Canadian team would you want to see hoist Lord Stanley's

601
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: Cup hoist. I got DIBs on the Maple Leafs. I

602
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: think I've said this before. It's gonna be very anti

603
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: Jason Stewart because would end a drought and misery. But

604
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: I'm going with the make beliefs, the mayple lief.

605
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 3: I got DIBs on the Vancouver Canucks because yesterday I

606
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 3: found out what the definition of a Canuck is and

607
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 3: I'm on board. And it's fun to say so Vancouver Canucks,

608
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 3: go get yourself a cup.

609
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: It's just a Canadian, right, Yeah.

610
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: It's a kind of like a playful, sort of a

611
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 3: little bit, a little bit of a crowd.

612
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: I don't mean, I'd have to go look at the definition.

613
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: A little derogatory, well, a little dogga.

614
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 3: Two, but also kind of playful. There are other instances

615
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: you could compare. Compare that name to.

616
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean I got DIBs on the Montreal Canadian.

619
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: What was a little? They had a great hockey player

620
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: for a long time, but he was tiny. Huh?

621
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: Who you said THEO Flurry? Which may be right? I

622
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: thought maybe Jerome and Gidlaw Againlaw, I think yeah, I

623
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 2: think you're right. I'm guessing version is THEO Floria. All right,

624
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: NBA team you'd want to give a title, This is

625
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 2: all thirty NBA team you'd want to give a title.

626
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: To just give a title, just have them have a title.

627
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 2: Yes, you are champions. You are the champions. My friend.

628
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 4: I got DIBs on the Quippers only because I want

629
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 4: to see what happens to this town. When it happens,

630
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 4: I want to see how it's covered. I want to

631
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 4: see if there's any parade, if there's enough fans for

632
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 4: a parade, because I don't think there would be.

633
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: There would be enough fans, but they wouldn't actually be

634
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: real fans.

635
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 2: I may regret this, but I got DIBs on the Wizards,

636
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 2: and I say I may regret it because I think

637
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: that there's five markets of sports fans that just can

638
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: be insufferable, and it's New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and DC.

639
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: And I think it's those.

640
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: Five Detroit fans can't be insufferable.

641
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: I think they're all right. I mean, I just I

642
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 2: don't think that they have the reputation as those other

643
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 2: five markets do. And just enough of the Commanders this

644
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 2: past year was already starting to get my fill. But

645
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 2: the East needs a pickup. I wouldn't want to give

646
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 2: it to the Celtics. I'm not gonna be greedy and

647
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: give it to the Bucks. I don't want the Sixers

648
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: to have one. Bulls had enough up with the Wizards.

649
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: I got the Knicks. DIBs on the Knicks. I'd like
