00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: There's so much rhythm NBA to get to today. But

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: then again, is there anything really to get to.

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 5: I see why stars like Colin and Dan and they

27
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 5: this is the time of the year they take off.

28
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 5: You know what I was thinking, am I right in there?

29
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 5: There's like so little going on. This is where like

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 5: the fun. This is what you have to break out

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 5: the fun.

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick's been doing it for so long.

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, that he has it down to science as to

34
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 5: when he should take off. We should just like remember,

35
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 5: write it down, copy those dates for our future so

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 5: we know like exactly what dys to put.

37
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: In ahead of time. Because again it's the slowest time

38
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: of the year. So we're gonna do some radio today

39
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: and just have some fun.

40
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 5: That's why we h that's why we have an advantage

41
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 5: because we hardly talk about hard hitting sports anyway.

42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you first off, how sports is

43
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: the great unify, the great unifier.

44
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: I'm not big on small talk. It trains me in.

45
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: It gives me the nervous farts, it makes me feel weird.

46
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: I don't like small talk chit chat.

47
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: Right, and over the weekend I had to meet my daughter,

48
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: my daughter, I have a fifteen year old teenage daughter.

49
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: Fifteen year old pain in the ash right, and she

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: has a new little boyfriend. Yeah, this is a nightmare

51
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 3: for it. And I had to take her to meet

52
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: his family for the first time because it was Valentine's weekend. Buppy,

53
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: I hope you guys had a happy Valentine's Day weekend

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: full of romance and love. But because their new teenage love,

55
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 3: and because I was dropping her off at his house,

56
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,680

Speaker 3: know what, the conversation immediately goes through though it's not

71
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: really the small talk. It's so my son tells me

72

Speaker 3: you're into sports, oh, that you're some sort of broadcaster,

73
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: and I automatically, oh, yeah, yeah, I love sports.

74
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: And it's the.

75
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,720

91
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 5: you're having all this really easy, breezy barbershop talk, and

92
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 5: to me, it's the best conversation if you don't know

93
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 5: what to talk about, if you don't know you know

94
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 5: what to say, or, for example, a colleague you don't

95
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 5: know much about him. You're on a work trip, you're

96
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 5: trying to get on the bus's good side, you're meeting

97
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 5: parents for the first time.

98
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: Sports man.

99
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 5: It brings people together and it really shows you if

100
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 5: they can hang or not. It shows you where they are.

101
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 5: I had a parent recently tell me the following, and

102
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 5: it put up halt of the conversation. I felt that

103
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 5: lull you speak of. You're at a school assembly, chit

104
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 5: chatting with other parents at the school, so I hear

105
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 5: you're into sports. This dad at the school set.

106
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: To me, Oh, I apologize, I'm not really into sports.

107
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: I don't have time. But again, now it shows you

108
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,559
Speaker 2: where they are talking about.

109
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 5: Now, I mean, you find other things, but it does

110
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 5: tell you something immediately about that guy, like music.

111
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 2: What are you watching on TV? What are we doing here?

112
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: You know it's odd too, though.

113
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: You catch a guy who's like way involved and he

114
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: wants to brag about his stat knowledge and his take,

115
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: his like random guy hot take and he knows way.

116
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: More than your and he knows more than you.

117
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 5: Or he's like flexing in a way where he wants

118
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 5: to show you that he does but I'm just I'm

119
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 5: not in that mindset. So I'm like, yeah, I don't

120
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 5: really want to play this game right now.

121
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: I did it all day, you know what I mean.

122
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 5: I five buddies on my like softball team that'll be like, hey,

123
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 5: who should I start this week with? By fantasy and

124
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 5: they start listening to people, I'm like, I just I

125
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 5: work for Fox Sports, but I really don't.

126
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: I don't.

127
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: We're not gonna do a fantasy sports breakdown right now

128
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: exactly exactly. So I had this conversation and it was great,

129
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 3: it was nice, but I did feel like I had

130
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: to justify a little bit. And we've explained this in

131
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: the past when you're talking to new people and you

132
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 3: do what we do. I've said it for years. Podcasts

133
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: are like opinions. Everybody has one, and most of them stink.

134
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: When I'm telling these people that I do a sports show,

135
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, but I you know, I'm not doing like,

136
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: you know, like a little boy podcast or something.

137
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 5: You know, I've been doing this for a long time.

138
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 5: In fact, filling in for the great Dan Patrick on Monday.

139
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: You heard of that guy, right, oh oh oh oh.

140
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 3: So I had that going on over the weekend. So

141
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 3: while the NBA All Star was going on, it was

142
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: a weekend of love and romance, new love and meeting

143
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: people and all that sort of stuff.

144
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 5: You felt the need to make sure the other parents

145
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 5: didn't think you were just some podcast. Well, I don't

146
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 5: know if this is how I feel, if this is

147
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 5: universal unless you look like old man Winter, which I

148
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 5: do not thanks to just for Vato's dark brown black

149
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: just to my just thanks to my hair and dye.

150
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: When I meet other parents, they feel very parent to me.

151
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: They feel a lot older than I am, So I

152
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: feel like they're looking at me thinking that I do

153
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: little boy things. And I'm like, I don't do like

154
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: a podcast like your son's friends do because they think

155
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: I'm a podcaster. I'm like, I'm a broadcaster, but I

156
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: have a podcast, right, There's a difference, there's levels to it.

157
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: I'm not doing it for fun. It's my career. We've

158
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: been doing this for a long time. So it's not

159
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: that I need to I said, justify, but you need

160
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: to explain that. I think I don't think you do.

161
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 5: Do they really win? Everyone in your neighborhod It has

162
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 5: a podcast? How did they think you make a living?

163
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

164
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 5: I don't know that. That's the point. That's why I'm

165
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 5: introducing me. But if you're like, hey, well I don't

166
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 5: know what they fit. You know, you know the girl

167
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 5: you're Sun's dating, I'm the dead I live in southern California.

168
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 5: Do they think you're a hobo living under the one

169
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 5: on one? I don't know what they can think. I'm

170
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 5: a deadbeat fraud I know. I Hey, no idea what

171
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 5: they think about me. It does a rinky ding podcast, yeah,

172
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 5: because when they say podcast, their Sun probably has a podcast.

173
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: Everybody has a podcast. So anyway, it was a weekend

174
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: of meeting new people. The point here isn't about my career.

175
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: It's about that sports brings people together, people you never met,

176
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 3: and you see it at the game.

177
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 2: You feel it at the game.

178
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 3: You're high five and strangers and that's the beauty of

179
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: it all. And it gives you stuff to do, It

180
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 3: gives you stuff to talk about, and it really puts

181
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: things in perspective. Even if they don't watch sports, it

182
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: tells you a lot about that person. So I had

183
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: that shit chat about sports. Who I root for? What

184
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 3: it means to me? And it always helps, It always works.

185
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: That was my weekend. Then I realized something else rich

186
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: two things. And I'll take your feedback in your phone

187
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 3: calls that you were once a teenage boy. Now you

188
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: hate this kid when you think about him. I think

189
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: I worry more about my daughter than this kid. He

190
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: seems like a really nice kid, Like he seems like

191
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: the perfect kid. Then again, they all do right.

192
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 5: If you were to hand select the kid for your

193
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 5: daughter to be with, this would be the kid seems

194
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 5: like a nice fella. I'll break out an old uh,

195
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 5: an old phrase. Little Eddie Haskell n.

196
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 2: A kid?

197
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 5: Eddie Haskell? Is it Barney Stintson? That's even a twenty

198
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 5: year old reference? Is there a is there a kid

199
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 5: pop culture reference that parents like? That sort of a

200
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 5: little weasel? Where is Eddie Haskell still the reference? Eddie

201
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 5: Haskell is such an old guy, right?

202
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: Is that still the reference? Actice like a grandpa reference.

203
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 2: But it's let's leave it to Beaver.

204
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: That's like Eddie Haskell was the quintessential, like hello, missus Cleaver,

205
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: and then he's trying to get into hood rat stuff

206
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: as soon as the parents leave. So Eddie haskells the

207
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 3: the Wisenheimer type of guy. Who was nice in front

208
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: of the adults, but like you said, was a weasel

209
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: in real life.

210
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 5: Stiffler. But I really don't know what I would say.

211
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 5: It's Rich Davis, the velvet wolf. Here's my reference, Rich

212
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 5: Davis pretends like he's a great guy.

213
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 2: Just kidding, I don't.

214
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 5: I don't know if there's an updated reference. Hey if

215
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 5: you got one eight seven, seven, nine to nine on

216
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 5: Fox cn R. So the sports talk went over, well,

217
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 5: they brought it up. They brought it up, so I

218
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 5: leaned into it.

219
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 3: Perfect, you want to talk about me, I'll talk about

220
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 3: the Yankees, let's go. And then we talked about the

221
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: dunk contest, which we'll get too later on.

222
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,239
Speaker 2: But one more observation.

223
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: Because it was the NBA All Star weekend but also

224
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: was Valentine's Day weekend, I really or should I say

225
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 3: the Sakai to Kai weekend cobra kai weekend.

226
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 2: For this guy, I noticed. My biggest struggle over.

227
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: The weekend wasn't dealing with my teenage daughter hanging out

228
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: with a boy.

229
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 5: That's life, and I'm okay with it. I really am people.

230
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 5: We as people, not just people.

231
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: Me too.

232
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 3: Magnify these things like they're gonna be dreadful. They're not

233
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: that bad. It's life, and you embrace it and you

234
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: realize it's special for them the same way it was

235
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 3: for you, and you want don't be that dead.

236
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: That's like, well, you know what I want to do.

237
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to scare him in to put like shine

238
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 2: my shotgun or something like. That's not me.

239
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 5: You want them to have a nice teenage love experience,

240
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 5: you know, like, hey, did he get my daughter a

241
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 5: nice card? Did he write in it? Was he nice

242
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 5: to her? Is Valentine's Day? Did he buy her something?

243
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 5: Do you want to scare a teenage boy? Are you

244
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 5: proud of yourself?

245
00:11:59,200 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 6: Yeah?

246
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: No, that's not who I am. I'm not trying to

247
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: be that.

248
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 3: But I also am trying to be present and assertive

249
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: in my way, like hey, I'm here, I'm her dad,

250
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 3: don't be a weenie.

251
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: I noticed.

252
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 3: My biggest battle over the weekend was trying to stay

253
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: awake during all the NBA festivities. The obstacle and my

254
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: biggest battle was trying to avoid girl Scout cookies and

255
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: leftover Valentine's Day candy because I realized this we as men,

256
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,359
Speaker 3: we buy our wife and girlfriend and daughters candy and chocolates,

257
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: and I realized that the half nibbled ones and the

258
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 3: ones with the peanuts.

259
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: Are left for us always. Those are ours, guys. Enjoy them.

260
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: That was my mission to avoid them, and I failed

261
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: the end.

262
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 5: That was my weekend. That was yours, thin men's by

263
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 5: the sleeve. Yeah, dude, it's not Joeline season. It's Girl

264
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 5: Scout Cookie season. It's not NBA season. Is Girl Scout

265
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 5: Cookie season?

266
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: And they were calling my name.

267
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 5: I had about sixteen samoas in one sitting. Well, the

268
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 5: problem is, once you open that package of samoas, you

269
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 5: have to eat them by the rope. No, I can't

270
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 5: just tell you can't be lonely samoas. I'm like, he

271
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 5: can't just leave these lonely ones here. I gotta finish

272
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 5: them all.

273
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: Is that a reality show you're watching lonely samoans? Yeah,

274
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: like you know you feel bad for the other ones,

275
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: Like yeah, no, come on, I'm gonna eat them all

276
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: the tin mince in the freezer. Yeah. And once you

277
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: open that sleeve, like, how many are at ten? Do

278
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: you tell? You tell your wife you want five?

279
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 6: All?

280
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: Five?

281
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: And I was so fired. I'm on Mac mclung. I

282
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: was like you know, I lost all control, so I

283
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 3: ended up eating the whole box. So I wanted to

284
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: start today's show. You like, start We're fifteen minutes ten.

285
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 3: I want to start today's show talking about the NBA

286
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 3: because I have an analogy. I mean, this is no

287
00:13:54,520 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 3: Colin Cowhart stars analogy. This is no Dan Patrick analogy, and.

288
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like the NBA. I thought

Speaker 5: any sports talk? Yeah, it's way better than how's the

312
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 5: weather doing.

313
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: I got one.

314
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 5: Besides the sports talk and the music talk. There was

315
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 5: one dad that didn't say a peep, and he looked

316
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 5: in my yard and he saw that we had recently

317
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 5: bought a new grill, and clearly that was his thing.

318
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 5: And I was like, oh okay, Because there's always something

319
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 5: like you just gotta find their passion.

320
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: And that's why I'm saying nine times out of ten sports,

321
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 3: it's sports. If you want to talk about the big

322
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: green egg or the new pizza oven you bought what

323
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: are they called the umi UMIs or the or.

324
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 5: The triggers or whatever it is, that's another thing that's

325
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 5: easy to talk about.

326
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 4: You're on the DP show. It's the trigger exactly.

327
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 5: To me, it's whatever, whoever wants to give me some

328
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 5: stuff I've just spent twenty five on a green egg.

329
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: So to me, it's green egg. Ny, where's my tragger?

330
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 5: I'll talk about all bed So while I'm making small

331
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 5: tog of parents, you're doing your thing. That little intro

332
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 5: was all to just let you know that the world

333
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 5: of sports stunk this weekend. Yeah, and I haven't thought

334
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 5: and it's it goes a little something like, of course

335
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 5: you watched the Sikai Tikai, which I did, and I

336
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 5: thought it was great. Only speak for yourself. I only

337
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 5: up to episode two of the New Cobra Kai season.

338
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: And if you don't know what the Sikai Takai is,

339
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 3: then you don't follow international karate.

340
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 4: You didn't like the dunk contest, Rich, that didn't stink?

341
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: That was cool.

342
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: I watched it in highlight form, Danny or like background

343
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 3: TV format I had it on. That was that was

344
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: good enough.

345
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: Here's my thought. The NBA stars. The NBA is sort

346
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 2: of like social media. Let me explain.

347
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 5: You could post a video that you think is the

348
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 5: funniest content. Oh, this is an A list interview. This

349
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 5: is the funniest clip of you know something nonsense we

350
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 5: did in the studio, and they could get like tens

351
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 5: of thousands of views.

352
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: You're like, I thought that was gonna hit.

353
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 5: Then you can post a video of you like pop

354
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 5: it a pimple and it has twelve million views. You

355
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 5: don't determine what people want. They tell you what they want.

356
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 5: It's mind boggling. If you look at our social media

357
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 5: or anyone social media, they could have one or two

358
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 5: videos every couple months that pop and it's probably never

359
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 5: what they think. If you looked at all of our

360
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 5: videos of all time, you know what our most viewed

361
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 5: videos are me giving my wife our dog, pimple popping,

362
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 5: and when we had a slap bet and one of.

363
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: Us lost and we had a slap down.

364
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: Sure every fellow who posts on social media could relate.

365
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 3: You think that everybody's gonna love that picture of you

366
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 3: and your kid, you fishing you and that killer joke

367
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: you told, But some random one of you and your puppy,

368
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 3: it's the views out of nowhere.

369
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 5: You're like, huh, so, how did that happen? Let me

370
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 5: explain again. You don't tell people what they want. They

371
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 5: tell you what they want. And right now with the NBA,

372
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 5: there's no blueprint on what catches, or what hits or

373
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 5: what goes viral or what people like you just happen.

374
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 5: You can't organically tell me what to be interested in.

375
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 5: It sounds ridiculous, but yeah, de Tale is oldest timer.

376
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 5: It's just like any artist, right.

377
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 3: They always have the story of we weren't even gonna

378
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: put that song on the album, and the one that

379
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 3: they weren't gonna put on the album is the big hit,

380
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 3: you know, and the one they thought was the big hit,

381
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: no one give gave a Diddley squad about it.

382
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 5: Oh, great example, Shaggy the cartoon like Scoob, No, not Shaggy,

383
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 5: the art of Shaggy the song it wasn't Me. There's

384
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 5: a great story behind that song Shaggy released. You know,

385
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 5: he had mister Bombastick in the nineties that was a hit.

386
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 5: But he had a couple stinker roos in there, and

387
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 5: the record label was like, yeah, I think we're dropping.

388
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 5: We're dropping Shaggy. This is you know, reggae pop stuff

389
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 5: isn't working. And the label was like, yeah, we're done.

390
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 2: What do you guys?

391
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 5: What's the song he wasn't No, it wasn't me. This

392
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 5: is all nonsense. Some random radio person I believe in

393
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 5: Hawaii played it. A couple of important people were on

394
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 5: vacation heard it. Long story short, this thing spreads like wildfire.

395
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 5: Shaggy's a huge star. It wasn't me was one of

396
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 5: the biggest songs of the two thousands.

397
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: So the big Kuhuona played it on the radio and

398
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 3: he came a hit. Yeah, and now the big Buffoona's

399
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: talking about it at Fox Sports.

400
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 5: So the thought is everyone said no, but then what

401
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 5: the public said, no, no, no, that's the one we like.

402
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't know a rock band. You don't know

403
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 2: what's gonna say. Rock band will say.

404
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 5: The label resisted this song, and then they put it

405
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 5: out for like the fans, and it became their big hit.

406
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 5: Always happens, Long story short. The NBA, much like all

407
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 5: these things, you can't force on people what you think

408
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 5: will work.

409
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: And and I'm.

410
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 5: Not saying they're forcing it honest, but right now, for

411
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 5: you to say, what should be the Western Conference finals?

412
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 5: For example, right, okse, you got Alexander Sga Hartenstein, Jaylen Williams,

413
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 5: a team that plays as a team.

414
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: You got Yo Kinch who's fundamentally sound.

415
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 5: You got the Grizzlies with you know, Jaron Jackson and

416
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 5: John and everyone. Point is, if I were to ask you, Covino,

417
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 5: who intrigued you.

418
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 2: There's no young start.

419
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 5: Maybe Wemby when he first entered the league, when we

420
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 5: were all like, oh, we got to see this guy.

421
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 5: We're still talking about essentially the older guys in the NBA, Lebron,

422
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 5: Steph kd.

423
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 3: Kyrie, like that all happened than the past few years.

424
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 3: Though NBA was doing a great job of creating new

425
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 3: stars for a long time.

426
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 5: But those new stars time is pass Covino exactly, No,

427
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 5: that's I'm just saying that's all recent.

428
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: What teams, What teams intrigue?

429
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 5: You ask yourself that, And the sad reality is it's

430
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 5: veteran teams holding on because you just well, I.

431
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: Would say, and I mean no disrespect to Danny g

432
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: our super producer who's on the phones at eight seven

433
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 3: seven ninety nine out Fox or any Lebron fan out there,

434
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 3: but I think it's because of his longevity. We're still

435
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 3: so focused on Lebron that conversations always come back to

436
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: him and the Lakers.

437
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 5: Lebron's son who this isn't even NBA ready, and I says,

438
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 5: got more attension than any young star in years other

439
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 5: than Wenby, Maybe that's what I mean, Like I say that, Hey,

440
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 5: props to him, but in reality that conversation feels like

441
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 5: two thousands Lebron James and we're still talking about him.

442
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 3: I was wearing Jinko jeans when we were talking about

443
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 3: Lebron James twenty years ago, and we're still talking about these.

444
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 5: Lebron James still playing. There's there's room to talk about

445
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 5: other people.

446
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: But when it comes back to him, like, you're not

447
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 3: really having conversations about the guys you should be talking about.

448
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: If that's part of it.

449
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 5: If I were to say Cavino, like the only reason,

450
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 5: like look at the Western Conference right when you think

451
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 5: of the teams that you would want to see, they're

452
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 5: just the names of older veterans that you've seen before.

453
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 5: Does the idea of does the idea of like Okase

454
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 5: get you all fired up?

455
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: Or Cleveland takes a minute too? It does? You know?

456
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 5: I brought up music before. I don't like songs the

457
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 5: first time I hear them. That's very rare.

458
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 3: Familiarity takes a minute, you know, I have to listen

459
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 3: to him, so three four times before I'm like, yo,

460
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 3: that one's the Beadle's so, I mean, it takes a

461
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 3: minute to start to know a little bit about these superstars,

462
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 3: and that's an All Star weekend is kind of about.

463
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: It puts them on a major platform and you get

464
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 3: to familiarize yourself with these guys, with these new stars.

465
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: But you tell me, is that how you look at it?

466
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 5: Or do you agree that you can't really force on

467
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 5: people what they're supposed to be interested in. We'll take

468
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 5: your feedback, we'll break, we'll come back, because you can

469
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 5: talk about it in any sport, right.

470
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 2: I'm a big Mets fan.

471
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 5: Pee Alonso On paper, you always say should be a

472
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 5: bigger star, But there's something about him, like, does does

473
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 5: anyone care about Pete Alonzo other than me and Mets

474
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 5: fans during free agencies?

475
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: He might no one.

476
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 5: Cared about him, And you're you're the first gotta say,

477
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 5: here's the guy that hits forty or fifty home runs,

478
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 5: he's a slugger, he does the whole LFM. You know,

479
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 5: let's eff and go Mets. Everyone loves them, you would think.

480
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: But well, I think there's something about his personality that's

481
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: not translating in New York and on a mainstream level,

482
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 3: where people think he's just a goofy, boring sort of

483
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 3: player that hits bombs, and maybe there's something to be

484
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 3: said about the NBA. But put your finger on it.

485
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: What was rubbing you wrong with some of these younger players?

486
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 2: You know?

487
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: Maybe it is like not wanting to participate in a

488
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: slam dunk contest.

489
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 2: I got to watch Mac mcclunk.

490
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 3: It's how pampered and annoying some of these players are

491
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 3: and load management. Maybe it's just rubbing people the wrong way,

492
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 3: So maybe it's not necessarily them. You know, why isn't

493
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 3: it translating? Is the question?

494
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: I guess. We're live from the Mercedes Benz Studios.

495
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: We got Shacked Diesel Trivia speaking of the NBA Shacked

496
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: Diesel trivia later on today giving away some prizes. But

497
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 3: when it comes to Rich's NBA analogy, what are your thoughts?

Speaker 3: time to discuss.

515
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,440

00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: I hope you had a great Valent Times weekend, Bopy.

531
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: Hope you enjoyed some Russell stovers. Hope you enjoyed the

532
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 3: NBA All Star Game? Was it SNL or Cobra kai

533
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: that overshadowed the everything NBA All Star Game. We're taking

534
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: your calls and your feedback now on Rich's NBA analogy.

535
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 3: He's basically saying that there's no blueprint on what works

536
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 3: and what doesn't work. But I hope you had a

537
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: nice weekend of Steph Curry sort of weekend. He got

538
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 3: the MVP, his second All Star Game MVP. The OG's

539
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 3: got the win. We'll play some Shack Diesel trivia. But

540
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: you want to explain again, Rich.

541
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's evident that.

542
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 5: In generally we like to think that we could tell

543
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 5: people what they're interested in, what they like, what they

544
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 5: gravitate towards networks. Do it, podcast, has to do it,

545
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 5: TV shows, movies. There's a sentiment that, oh, we know

546
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 5: what the public wants, but a lot of times the

547
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 5: public just tells you what they want. You can try

548
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 5: to push a new artist, a new athlete, a new

549
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 5: face of a company on the general public. But they

550
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 5: could very well just be like, now, we don't like that,

551
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 5: we like that. It's like the famous story of Happy Days.

552
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 5: Fansie wasn't supposed to be the main character How I

553
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 5: Met your Mother. It wasn't supposed to be about Barney Stinson.

554
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 2: Did I do that?

555
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 3: Tory Nichols wasn't supposed to be anything more than a

556
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 3: quick cameo on Cobra Kai.

557
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that same category as Fansie.

558
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 3: It's more relevant than Henry Winkler, even though I love him.

559
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 3: I'm just saying the season premiere just wrapped up Tory.

560
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 3: He's the main character of Cobra Kai. But it just

561
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: shows you that, you know, like I said, uh erkele Phonsie,

562
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 3: these are not designed theublic decided. So you could say

563
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: these are the new faces of our sport. But if

564
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 3: the public doesn't gravitate towards them, If you, as the

565
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 3: average NBA fan, what matchup you'd want in the NBA,

566
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 3: most people would say, hold, no, maybe like the Warriors

567
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 3: are the Lakers because they're still hung up on Steph

568
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 3: and Lebron and those older faces. I think, you know,

569
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 3: I think if you're asking why is this because your

570
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 3: point is valid. I think everybody and everything goes through

571
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: transitional ups and downs, like transitional phases. We I think

572
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 3: we were a little spoiled in the NFL, Like when

573
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: we got all these slew of new quarterbacks, it made

574
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 3: the transition easier. He's like, whoa, wait a second. All

575
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 3: these dudes are really good, I mean guys, and you

576
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 3: embrace the new guys immediately. We say goodbye to.

577
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 5: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and you know, Drew Brees and

578
00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 5: that crew of quarterbacks. But we also welcomed in Burrow Jackson,

579
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 5: Josh Allen, like Jalen hurts that.

580
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 3: So it's like the holidays when you're grown up. Remember

581
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 3: when you were a kid, how great the holidays seemed.

582
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: Then everybody grew up and no one had kids yet,

583
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 3: so the holidays seemed boring because you were going through

584
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 3: that transitional stage of life and family. All of a sudden,

585
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 3: your sister started having kids and there was kids back

586
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 3: in the mix, and the holidays got exciting again. You're like,

587
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 3: oh wow, their holidays are back. I guess now we

588
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 3: just got through that transitional stage, and maybe the NBA, well,

589
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: all the changes they're making and all the changes they're

590
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 3: forced to make, and thinking about the way the game

591
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 3: has changed with three points and it's become boring, and

592
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: Silver's trying to for you out, well, how do we

593
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: fix it?

594
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 5: And a new format for the All Star Game? All

595
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 5: these things are a little confusing to people. There's a

596
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 5: new slew of characters that not everybody's embracing yet, it's

597
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 5: just the transition all of a side.

598
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: They'll be a moment in time where all of a

599
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 3: sudden you're like, ah, I have.

600
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: Another I have another reason.

601
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 5: Who's arguably the best Major League Baseball player that's never

602
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 5: sniffed the post season for the most part, For the

603
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 5: most part, Trout. Mike Trout Right, you could argue, maybe

604
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 5: not most the most personality plus guy. But you know

605
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 5: what also takes a star like Mike Trout from being

606
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 5: next level star never being relevant when it matters in

607
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 5: the playoffs?

608
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: Do you think.

609
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 5: Maybe if the Spurs were more of an elite team

610
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 5: and had had more weapons and more, you know, more

611
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 5: of a vibe around Wemby. Wemby to me is the

612
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 5: most intriguing young star, but in a league where twenty

613
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 5: of the thirty teams make the playoffs, they're still on

614
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 5: the outside looking in. Is that a part of it too,

615
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 5: where Danny, the biggest young star that might be the

616
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 5: biggest quote attraction, isn't even on a playoff caliber team.

617
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 7: Well, one of my favorite players in the league right

618
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 7: now is Dearon Fox, and the Kings traded him to

619
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 7: the Spurs. So the Spurs are trying to work on

620
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 7: what you're talking about right now.

621
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: I mean you can't.

622
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 3: We're coming off of crazy highs of a great MLB

623
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 3: season first time in a long time. But it backs

624
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 3: up what I said, another exciting NFL season and then

625
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 3: you're like NBA and you're trying to play catch up now.

626
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 5: But no, but it goes back to what I'm saying.

627
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 5: Otani is the biggest star, but guess what he also did.

628
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 5: The biggest star showed up on the biggest stage and

629
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 5: that team won the World Series.

630
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 3: I think once the I'm state in the obvious here,

631
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 3: but once the playoffs are kicking in and you're seeing

632
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 3: Lebron and Luca do their thing again, big team, big national,

633
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 3: nationwide team, not just here in LA with superstars that

634
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 3: you recognize when you see them competing with these younger

635
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: dudes that you really don't know that well, you start

636
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: kicking in and your fandom starts to kick in and

637
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 3: you start getting excited about it.

638
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 5: Luca and Lebron, Stephen Draymond, like the names that you

639
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 5: want to say, Yeah, but you're tuning into the NBA

640
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 5: right after the NFL, right after Super Bowl.

641
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 2: You all hyped up about super Bowl.

642
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 3: And then you're tuning into the NBA because it's all

643
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: there is to tune into right as we approach All

644
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 3: Star break. So that's kind of boring as a casual

645
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 3: NBA fan.

646
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: Let's go to Andy and Rhode Island. Andy, what is it?

647
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 6: I mean?

648
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 5: And I don't want to talk about, Well, the NBA

649
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 5: it's three pointers and this and that.

650
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 2: Andy. To me, it's just saying you just can't force

651
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: what works. Yeah, you can't force it. You can't tell

652
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:16,719
Speaker 2: people what they like.

653
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 8: No, absolutely, guys. And I feel that because you know,

654
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 8: a lot of it kind of just goes back to

655
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 8: revision's history because you know, we can't really see who's

656
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 8: gonna be, you know, the next breakout generational players ahead

657
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 8: of time, so we kind of just cling back to

658
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 8: you know, the guys that's still in the league that

659
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 8: have been doing it for so long, because I feel

660
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 8: like a lot of it has to do with social media.

661
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 8: We have so much access to these guys that in sense,

662
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 8: it's always on to the next with the current society

663
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 8: that we're living nowadays, and it's just so tricky because

664
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 8: we want to embrace the new guys, but then I

665
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 8: feel like a lot of these new guys they don't

666
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 8: have that superstar you know, that whole horizon energy that

667
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 8: we look forward to, just like you know, you're going

668
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 8: back to Michael Jordan's he was so polarizing, but it

669
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 8: was so it was such a mystery because we didn't

670
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 8: have all the access to him. So that I feel

671
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 8: like that's the biggest difference. And you know, like you

672
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 8: guys said, it's a transitional phase and we'll see where

673
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 8: it goes.

674
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: Right now is just up in the air.

675
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 8: You know, we can only hope for the best of

676
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 8: the NBA, But it seems like we're embracing the NFL

677
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 8: stars a lot faster because the NFL is dis case

678
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 8: it really is it.

679
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 3: Is, and it's that that good of a product where

680
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 3: you're not really competing with anything. If you're a casual

681
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 3: NBA fan, you're oversaturated with other options. Like if you

682
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 3: asked me honestly over the weekend, yeah, would you rather

683
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 3: watch the NBA All Star Game or Cobra Kai.

684
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 5: I'm watching Cobra Kai. That sounds ridiculous, but we have.

685
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 5: My point is, you have options. As your mom would say,

686
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 5: up the wazoo.

687
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 2: You have so many other things to watch.

688
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 6: Mom.

689
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 5: It's competing with all these other things, you know. So

690
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 5: it's a mixture. It's a perfect storm of all of

691
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 5: these things, Richie. I can't force these things, the new formats,

692
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 5: the new stars, and you have all these other things

693
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 5: to watch.

694
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 2: George and La, what's up, Bud? What's what's up? Man?

695
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 9: Hey buddy, Hey man, got to hear you guys this morning.

696
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 9: It was a good surprise.

697
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: Oh nice man, high surprise surprise.

698
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 9: Sorry with your daughter. Brother, That was cool, man, that

699
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 9: was real cool.

700
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 2: Hey, thanks man, it was all right. You know, it's

701
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: a weird.

702
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: It's a weird moment to just sort of accept that

703
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 3: your daughter it's not her first boyfriend.

704
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 2: But she's fifteen now, so different right now. Yeah, So

705
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 2: what's on your mind? George?

706
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 9: Hey, bro, I'll tell you it wasn't cool that Sprinky

707
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 9: Dinky also our game, bro. It was pretty lame. It

708
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 9: was non competitive. They need to come up with a

709
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 9: better idea. Maybe, how about like something like, well, what

710
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 9: hockey does? That hockey game was was beast but that

711
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 9: was awesome first.

712
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, hockey sold the weekend with their fights. I mean

713
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 5: hockey fights. You know what it was this weekend was

714
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 5: hockey fights. Saturday Night Live fifty and a couple other

715
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 5: things that all sort of overshadowed.

716
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: It was a pick a ball tournament.

717
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 7: There was some crazy crashes in the Daytona five hundred

718
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 7: when that picked up after the weather delay.

719
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't want to I don't want to be

720
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 5: the guy that piles on. I don't want to kick

721
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 5: the NBA will.

722
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, but enough, if you weren't painting the narrative, then

723
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 3: you wouldn't be accurate either. And that was the narrative on.

724
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 5: If you took the temperature on social media and just

725
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 5: the buzz of of what people were saying about All

726
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 5: Star Weekend, that's exactly it.

727
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: If you see it otherwise, feel free to share. We're

728
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 3: just painting a picture for you. As I said to you,

729
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 3: I don't want to. I just don't want to pile

730
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 3: on and be like, yeah, MEA stinks right, guys, because

731
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 3: I just think there's a they're trying Adam Silva striking.

732
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 3: I'm just saying you can't force people to like something.

733
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 3: I mean another thing though, just to show that you're

734
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 3: not rich is again, that's the overall sentiment of how

735
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 3: people are feeling. Right, So we're not gonna come here

736
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 3: and be like, dude, that was electric, are we We

737
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 3: would sound ridiculous?

738
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, right.

739
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 3: Draymond Green over the weekend was basically talking about how

740
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 3: flat it was, how weak it was, how you have

741
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 3: these you know, young players out there that don't deserve

742
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: to be out there, and that the format didn't work

743
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 3: like he made it no secret And that's been a

744
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 3: theory of ours too on this show. When you have

745
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 3: the analysts and former players and current players dumping on

746
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 3: the product, how do you expect the casual fan to

747
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 3: be excited about it?

748
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 2: That's bad marketing.

749
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, there were twenty minute breaks in that bracket final,

750
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 7: and a lot of the players spoke out afterwards saying

751
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 7: they didn't like it. They understand that it needs to

752
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 7: be kind of stretched out for TV, right, and they're

753
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 7: just being honest. But like Kevin Hart was doing stand

754
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 7: up and little skits and he was at Lebron's locker

755
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 7: putting his shoes on, and you know, and Trey Young

756
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 7: said he was part of Chuck's Global Stars. I didn't

757
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 7: like the breaks. The games were so short. Obviously we

758
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 7: can score, so they're trying to I feel like, stend

759
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 7: the game, you know, because they need breaks and things

760
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 7: like that.

761
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 4: But the players want to play yeah.

762
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 3: And I think the silver lining here is they're trying

763
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 3: to figure it out or trying to give you something else.

764
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 3: Like we always say Rich Gary Vee, we quote him

765
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 3: innovator died or trying to innovate and trying to make

766
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 3: things exciting.

767
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 2: So that's the positive.

768
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 7: They're testing it on live TV, though, is the the issues.

769
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 7: Like us, once in a while on our afternoon show,

770
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 7: we'll test a game, a new game that we're gonna play, yeah,

771
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 7: and it kind of evolves into the final product that

772
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 7: we put on the air every week, and that first

773
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 7: week or two we do it, we laugh, we have

774
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 7: fun with it.

775
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 4: It's a little rough, but.

776
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 7: Imagine millions and millions of viewers watching something you're trying

777
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 7: to figure out in real time.

778
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,640

Speaker 3: eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. No One's in

791
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 3: a comment on my sweet top hat today for President's Day.

792
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm gonna drop some presidential fun facts.

797
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 3: I hope you had a nice Valentine's Day weekend. Hope

798
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 3: you had a nice NBA All Star weekend. Think Rich

799
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 3: is really struggling trying to put his finger on the

800
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 3: reason that it's just kind of lackluster and boring. But

801
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 3: you don't have to look that hard, Rich, It's a

802
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 3: transitional stage. You're not from you with a lot of

803
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 3: these young players. It happens in life all the time,

804
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 3: and when the stars of the league, when the stars

805
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 3: aren't hyped about it, it's impossible for you to be

806
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 3: hyped about it. Listen to Draymond Green talk about it

807
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 3: over the weekend.

808
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 6: You work all year to be an All Star and

809
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 6: you get to play up to forty and then you're done.

810
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 6: This is so unfair to Victor win Miyama who just

811
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 6: took this game really seriously, Shay Gilges Alexander who.

812
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 4: Just took this game really seriously.

813
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 6: When you talk about chasing after the points, Wreckers Mellow

814
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 6: and Kobe and all these guys who've had great staring knights,

815
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 6: they don't get the opportunity to do that with this game. Also,

816
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 6: we can watch some rising stars. We're about to watch

817
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 6: the Olympic team. Now we get to treat of watching

818
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 6: the Olympic team play against a U nineteen team.

819
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: Come on what are we doing al of one to ten?

820
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 6: Your thoughts of the format ten being the best?

821
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 2: Yes, A zero sucks. Zero sucks. And he looked mad

822
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 2: about it too.

823
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 3: So you're watching this as a FA and it puts

824
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 3: it in perspective like, oh well, because sometimes you're thinking.

825
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 2: It's me? Is it me?

826
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 3: Why am I not like zoned in on this? Why

827
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: am I not excited about it? It's not you, even

828
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 3: though we suffer from short attention spans.

829
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 2: I thought about it. There's something flat about it.

830
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 3: Even Stu Gotts wrote, if Dalton connect your boy d

831
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 3: NG is playing in your all Star game, it's not

832
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 3: an all star game.

833
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 2: It's a some starscame me, come on.

834
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 5: But I think I came to the conclusion I thought,

835
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 5: I know, I thought, I'm just you know, that's the

836
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 5: vibe of everybody. I thought about it because I said,

837
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 5: I don't I don't want to pile on and just

838
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 5: be another sports TV radio podcast that that's like, you know,

839
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 5: the NBA struggling Yet No.

840
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's be fair.

841
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 7: Rich Draymond's sour and salty about a lot of things, of.

842
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 2: Course, but I think here there's two layers.

843
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 5: Number one, anything that is you know, resembling a solution

844
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 5: to the NBA's struggling ratings or interest all equate to

845
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 5: less money, shorter season in, less playoff teams, shorter games,

846
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 5: and anything that would possibly be a quote step in

847
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 5: the right direction all equal loss of revenue.

848
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 2: So those are not answers. And then also think about

849
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 2: this one. This is interesting.

850
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 5: Maybe we just need to see someone do something no

851
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 5: one's done. Let me explain when Michael Jordan was duncan

852
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,959
Speaker 5: and taken off from the three point line the free

853
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 5: throw line, when these guys were doing ridiculous things, Michael

854
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 5: Jordan revolutionized. Steph Curry hit a half court shot, how

855
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 5: we you know, fly through the air? Steph Curry revolutionized

856
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 5: the three point shot. Magic Johnson sort of revolutionized ball handling. Right,

857
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 5: Are we just waiting for some star? Yes, I said

858
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 5: ball handling. Are we waiting for someone to just do

859
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,959
Speaker 5: something drastically different that we haven't seen?

860
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 3: I mean, we just mclung jumped over a car over

861
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 3: this week, but we never saw anyone jump over the

862
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: actual top of the car.

863
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 4: No, your boy beat Griffin jumped over the hood.

864
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,919
Speaker 2: Hey, we've seen the hood. He jumped over a car.

865
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 2: This dude that was pretty dope, But think about it,

866
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 2: what else could be done?

867
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 5: And I hate to compare it to, you know, something terrible,

868
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 5: but sort of like smut, right, Like people keep pushing

869
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 5: the en bulbs because I guess the regular bedroom activity

870
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 5: isn't enough. Anymore categories out there we get to sensitize,

871
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 5: and I'm like, all right, so now we see guys

872
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 5: hitting half court shots, we see guys, you know, reverse

873
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 5: dunking and doing everything.

874
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: Do we need something else? Maybe that's it. We got

875
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 2: more CNR.

876
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 5: Next in for Dan Patrick right here on Fox Sports Radio,

877
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 5: Hang Tight,
