Speaker 1: The game over? The game was over, it was six nothing.

Speaker 1: Come on, man, we want to everybody hit the over.

28
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 5: And I look, after the second period, I was on

00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: But again, I want to I want to go up

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: because this is like the third time this week you've

33
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: done this. Is that you know you're upset about something,

34
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: but you go right to the point spread, You go

35
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: right to some kind of bet right away, like ah,

36
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: they let up two goals, and then you go right

37
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: to the over. So I'm i'm I'm I'm a little

38
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: nervous that. You know, Hey, sometimes when you say something

39
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: like this, really it's it's got a it's got an

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: impact on your financial data.

41
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 5: Not at all, not okay, absolutely, not at all. It's

42
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 5: more just I'm looking out for the good people of

43
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 5: America and to the overall. I mean, look, the over

44
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 5: under was five and a half or six depending on

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 5: where you got in. Uh, so you were you were

46
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 5: there just by the United States. You at least got

47
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 5: to push off of their efforts. So the extra goals. Uh,

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 5: you know, push you to the over uh and away

49
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 5: you go. But it was one of those games, just

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 5: an absolute burial. I learned more about the Hughes brothers

51
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 5: from my daughter, uh, who stopped in for lunch in

52
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 5: between classes and and uh he's like, oh, yeah, you

53
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 5: gotta look that guy up.

54
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 4: And hey, you know he just scored. Okay, cool. Uh,

55
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 4: I gotta go back. I'll see you later.

56
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: Uh.

57
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 5: I got practice, Like okay, but I appreciate learning all

58
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 5: about the love life and and the TikTok stardom of

59
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 5: the Hughes.

60
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Well, the Hugheses and the Kachucks. I didn't know how

61
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: you got them, both the Hughes and the Kouchucks. Like

62
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: that was all it was.

63
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 5: Well but one of the TikTok thing, the k Chucks,

64
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 5: you know, just the larger hockey thing. But yeah, just

65
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 5: absolute sheer domination. It was starting quite the stark contrast

66
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 5: from the earlier game. And I will tell you obviously

67
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 5: I was, you know, old enough to remember miracle on ice.

68
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 5: It is still forty five, forty six years later, the

69
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 5: defining sporting event of our lives, and I you know,

70
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 5: remember it.

71
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: Remember remember the eighty five Bears being able to go

72
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: all the way through. Yes, yes, because yes, yes, eighty

73
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: five Bears.

74
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 5: Yes, yes we I mean look for a little Mikey Harmon.

75
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 5: That was a bigger deal because I was at least

76
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 5: six and a half and.

77
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm talking for every single person around the country.

78
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: The one thing that binds us all is not the

79
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: eighty five Bears. A miracle on ice is something that

80
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: you got to be a certain age to appreciate it.

81
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: But you know, one of the biggest upsets we've ever

82
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: seen they made. You know, they're not making movies out

83
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: of the eighty five Bears.

84
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: At least they've been making content for forty five.

85
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: Content is one thing. Content as well, Let's have another

86
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: movie after movie.

87
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 5: There's an award winning video from the Guys dancing and singing.

88
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we need more books about the eighty and

89
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: movie about the eighty five Bears and the eighty six

90
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: Mets and anything having to do with the Celtics of

91
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: the Oughts. Yes, we need more content. On that, you

92
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: have more content. But outside of that, right they wanted.

93
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: It took everybody by surprise. I mean, watching them play,

94
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: I have never been more confident about a gold medal

95
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: than when I am right now United States and Canada

96
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: going into this game, the United States defense is playing

97
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: at such an incredibly high level. I mean their penalty kill.

98
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: Like today they took like seven penalties in role. I'm like, wow, okay,

99
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: we're just trying to keep the game even. I want

100
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: to keep people watching. The United States is out to

101
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: a two goal lead. Oh here's a penalty, here's an

102
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: inadverton II stick. Okay, great, great, but the way they

103
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: kill the penalty day. Slovakia is a good team, right,

104
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: No are they Canada? No, they're not. But these teams

105
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: at the United States and Canada beating you know, they're

106
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: halfway full with NHL team with NHL players. They have

107
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: superstar players on these teams. They're really good players. And

108
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: the United States defensively is making them look like they

109
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: are the last Olympic qualifier, Like how do they even

110
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: get in? Like we're playing Switzerland? Are we playing these years?

111
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: How did they get how did they even get in

112
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: to the Olympics. That's how much. That's what defensively United

113
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: States is doing. And Connor Hellabook has had it easy.

114
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: And that's the best part is that he's still the

115
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: best goalie in alive in the Olympics, and he hasn't

116
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: had to carry the team yet. Yes, he's faced a

117
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: decent number of shots, but nothing really taxing. The United

118
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: States defense has just been absolutely aces the entire way

119
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: through Man. Canada is a little bit looser on defense

120
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: than the United States is, and you're seeing now the

121
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: United States offense is starting to peek a little bit.

122
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: You know, you're seeing them put the puck in the net.

123
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: Now it's not just the first line with the Icles

124
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: and the Kuchucks like that. You're starting to get all

125
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: the way up and down. I have never been more

126
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: confident they're gonna come out out of Sunday with a

127
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: gold medal. No, it's gonna be a rock fight, Like,

128
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: this is not gonna be something where, wow, we're up

129
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: and down at seven to six and we got to

130
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: hold them off. Loll Like, if you put the over

131
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: under it three and a half goals, I'll take the under.

132
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: Like this has two to one, one nothing, three to

133
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: one empty net goal, some kind of that's got written

134
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: on this because look, Canada is still an incredibly good

135
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: team and you know they can explode at any time.

136
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: They still haven't played their best game in the Olympics,

137
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: but this game is going to be an absolute rock fight.

138
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: I will be surprised as the most surprised guy in

139
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: the world if suddenly Canada is lightening up the lighting

140
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: the lamp on us. Because defensively, we are just playing

141
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: so incredibly well and we've been We have bottled that

142
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: from the beginning, and I give credit to the to

143
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and USA Hockey saying, you know what,

144
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: let's go with almost everybody from four nations. We have

145
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: no practice time, we have no time to get anybody going.

146
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: Let's go with twenty one out of the twenty four

147
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: players from from four nations. That's what's going to get

148
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: it for us. And that absolutely is what's done it

149
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: because you can see they're playing cos he's cohesive, they're

150
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: playing together. It's a lot different than when you watch

151
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: Canada play, telling you I have never been more confident

152
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: a gold medal.

153
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 5: Look at you, you are just jacked up about it.

154
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 5: Let's go and look ahead, shall we. The over underre

155
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 5: currently sitting at five goals, Yeah.

156
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: I take I take the under on that. I'm not

157
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: even close.

158
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 5: See which which Canadian team shows up, the one that

159
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 5: slept walking, got slapped around and gave up the two

160
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 5: nothing leader, the one that realized, hey, we need to

161
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 5: play some hockey now. Because that team was a little

162
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 5: scary once they asked started moving.

163
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: They've been scary that yet. But the thing is they've

164
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: done this the entire tournament. Like Canada has been this

165
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: team the entire tournament. They've not been a team that, hey,

166
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: they're just blowing the doors off the teams. Now it's

167
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: one game, everything can change, you know, a great strategy,

168
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: who knows, But I mean, you know, you can only

169
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: do so much. And this is kind of who Canada

170
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: has been. And yeah, there's gonna be a ramp up

171
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: in pressure, ramp up and excitement in the rivalry. But really, Canada,

172
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: they've not been as good as the United States the

173
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: entire tournament. It's almost like a mirror of the women

174
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: where instead of the women becoming the pre eminent hockey

175
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: team in the world, United States women is as clearly

176
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: bypassed Canada now beating them here in the gold medals.

177
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: Seven times in world they've won. I kind of feel

178
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: like the United States is a better is better cohest.

179
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: They don't have the better individual players, but cohesively, they're

180
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: a better team than Canada right now.

181
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know it's watching it on both ends of

182
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 5: the ice. Uh, just absolutely the old poetry in motion.

183
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 5: H This is where I get to reference Lawrence Moten.

184
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 5: Look him up, kids.

185
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 4: He was a good basketball player for Syracuse way back.

186
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: And soon too soon, my Carmen too.

187
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 6: Syracuse is never good at basketball.

188
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we were not.

189
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: They were at one point.

190
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 7: Yea.

191
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 6: And when they paid that guy Mellow like millions.

192
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well it.

193
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: Was money well spent. They are they are in what

194
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: you know. I like to put teams in the uh

195
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: in the uh uh when when when you are no

196
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: one knows, no one remembers why you're so relevant, But

197
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: at one time you were a big deal. I put

198
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: him in sports Stonehenge, like Syracuse basketball is in sports.

199
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: That is fair, that's like people. They were good at

200
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: one time. Yes, we were really good when it was

201
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: a while ago. Man, it was a long time ago,

202
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: but we were good. You're not.

203
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: No, you had some good runs some uh you know

204
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 4: who is good?

205
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 6: Who's at Pete A. Lonza?

206
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: You know what? Okay, okay, I got stop right to

207
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: stop you right here, from I was like, stop, won't stop.

208
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: I think you're putting this net never stopped, never stopping.

209
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you're putting this out there in the world.

210
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: Could you have been.

211
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 4: Setting already has more home runs than that.

212
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, you've been sending me every pee Alonzo spring

213
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: training home run and all. And I'm like, okay, I

214
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: guess got to go through this because it's frost. It's

215
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna be every day. But now it's social media, like

216
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: he was, like, he was in the top ten trending

217
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: topics say, and so I'm like, why is ped Alwanzo?

218
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Is he okay? Oh wait he hit

219
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: a home run in spring trail. Oh my god. This

220
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: is what it's going to be, isn't it. This is

221
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: what it's going to be for Peede Alonzo. Every time

222
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: he hits home run. Look at the mistake the match made,

223
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, home run forty two of them? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

224
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: yeah no. Hey, hey, hey, plus spring training. He is

225
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: at zero home runs for it for the Orioles. This

226
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: is spring training.

227
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 6: Due, you better grab some more data on that phone

228
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 6: of yours.

229
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: None of these home runs count.

230
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 4: Blowing it up.

231
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 5: Hey, look, this is from the guy in the three hundreds,

232
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 5: this is the guy from behind home plate. And here's

233
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 5: every other angle possible. As we built one of those

234
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 5: things like Batman had to do surveillance on the city.

235
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 5: All right, the we look at the money line as

236
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 5: we go through minus two thirty the odds for the

237
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 5: Americans that now.

238
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: You're back to how you're back to the gambling already.

239
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: I just going through. You were saying, brom my favorite,

240
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm giving you numbers to back it up.

241
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 4: I think you are not just a wishing and wanting

242
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 4: and hoping.

243
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm giving you cold hard facts when you when you go, okay,

244
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. When you go into order

245
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: sandwich and data go buy lunch, and you you go

246
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: up to what would you like? Do you say, Hey,

247
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: I'd like ham and and and cheddar a little bit

248
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: of monster in Mayo? Or do you say, what are

249
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: the odds I could get both Swiss and monster on

250
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: my sandwich?

251
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 7: Like?

252
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: Do you say stuff like if you because I think

253
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: you might say stuff like that.

254
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 5: Well, it's when you go to the deli and you

255
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 5: say I want a pound of you know, a.

256
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 4: Meter or a cheese.

257
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 5: You're sitting there in your head you're going are they

258
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 5: gonna go to the over?

259
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 4: Are they gonna short me? Let's see what he does?

260
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 5: Is this guy, you know, is he a good gauge

261
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 5: of of how much a pound really constitutes?

262
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: Here? Okay, so all right, so now so now go

263
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: back to that again. I was worried again back to

264
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: the number. But go ahead, go go back in.

265
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 4: Minus two thirty. So it implied seventy win the United States.

266
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm telling you man, I'm gonna take the.

267
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 5: Over, though, I think it opens up, and I think

268
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 5: it gets a little weird.

269
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, boy, you know, if.

270
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 5: I identity is gonna ratchet up, guys are gonna feel

271
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 5: the need to press a little bit and gamble defensively

272
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 5: to try to stop the rush.

273
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 4: And I think we get a little bit of weirdness.

274
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if if I thought for a second the

275
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: United States would get caught up in a game like

276
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: you Canada would need to get out to a two

277
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: nothing lead, like they didn't need to jump out and

278
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: we see that's not been Canada, right, that's not been that.

279
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: But and that's not the United States. If anything, in

280
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: the United States, Okay, we control the game, we have,

281
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, And then then we start denting the scoreboard,

282
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: like that's what it would take to keep that game

283
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: opening up. And I just don't see it because I

284
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: mean it defensively, the United States are just playing so

285
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: incredibly well, man like, they've been pushing all the right

286
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: buttons that gain it could all fall apart, right that

287
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: sports you know, like Berman says, that's why they play

288
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: the games, right That was always my favorite Berman leading

289
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: like he would be doing primetime and the game would

290
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: be like, you know, the Jets and the Steelers in

291
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: the nineties, right like, and it would be the Jets

292
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: come in at two and thirteen, the Steelers and twelve

293
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: and three. They've clinched their division already. They have seven

294
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: Pro Bowlers, the Jets have none. The Jets have already

295
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: clinched a top three draft pick. The Steelers have a

296
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: buy at least in the playoffs. But that's why they play.

297
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 5: The games right now, it's always the bill longer and

298
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 5: more disastrous.

299
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 4: You knew the result was on the other side for

300
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: the favorite.

301
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 5: By the way, earlier today, Canada was a minus four

302
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 5: thirty favorite.

303
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 4: The over under was five and a half, so.

304
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 5: They did not bat and they got your home on

305
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 5: the money line, but the over did not cash.

306
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: Telling you I do not feel so good about a

307
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: gold medal. I feel psyched. I can't tell you how

308
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: good I feel about it.

309
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 4: You just keep singing, so good, sood, so good.

310
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: It's amazing, absolutely amazing. Exit Out out of Fresca, Exit

311
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: Swollen Dome, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend

312
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon. We have more on the Olympics coming up next,

313
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: plus an apology, a huge apology in sports. We told

00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: the day over the last six years.

388
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 7: Anybody drives the ball to deep all the first of

389
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 7: many absolute ammer jobs for pen Alonzo, Baltimore, oriole.

390
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: Yay, Orioles Radio Network on the ball, hooray.

391
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:15,960

Speaker 5: I mean, I like the term hammered job. We're gonna

393
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,480

394
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 5: of the season.

395
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: You know, your job is pretty good. It is pretty good.

396
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 5: But instead of being angry about it, you get to

397
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 5: just said, hey, welcome back baseball, welcome back friend.

398
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 4: We missed you.

399
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 5: You know what, I'm gonna be positive about it, And

400
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 5: then you went and absolutely had to take the negative

401
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 5: because you're still a scorn lover.

402
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: No, but how about you want to talk about this,

403

Speaker 1: mister smart guy, mister scornlover, mister hey, I don't know

404
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: how scorn lover has anything to do with point spreads,

405
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna look at it.

406
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 7: You.

407
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 5: I was actually taking you over on the angry messages

00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 5: after the breakup.

409
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: I was thinking about to celebrate baseball doing a new

410
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: version of Talking Baseball.

411
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,720

00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,080

415
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 6: I don't know if we need it.

416
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: Well, I think we do. I think I think I

417
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: think we have. I've already started writing like the first

418
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: couple of Stanzas, I mean you, inspired.

419
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 4: By the anniversary of Home I've seen.

420
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: Oh, my writing is great. Come on, man, I'm a

421
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: published author. Come on, man, you can't do that to me.

422
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: I know all the best words, all words like three

423
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: four syllables, some five syllable words I'll use. I don't

424
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: know when, but sometimes I use five syllable words. I

425
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: got my conflagration conflagg, Right, that's only four, but I'm

426
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: warming up to five syllable words.

427
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 5: I used to get copies of the books that I

428
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 5: had back in the day, said back, going, dumb it down.

429
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: We don't want.

430
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 4: These four and five syllable words. Dumb it down.

431
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: Listen, I don't know what you're saying with these fancy

432
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: words like trust and toast. You know we're gonna be

433
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: words we all understand.

434
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 4: All right, this is the hell do you think your

435
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 4: audience is.

436
00:18:59,480 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: So?

437
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 3: Uh?

438
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: We told you the other night when this story that

439
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: really took us by surprise because of how incredibly popular

440
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: it's become. UCLA head coach Mick Cronin apologized today for

441
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: ejecting Stephen Jamerson from UCLA's game the other night against

442
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: Michigan State after he committed a hard foul. Now you

443
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: remember this one. It happened. He commits a hard foul,

444
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: Cronin feels like it's a dirty foul, and he just

445
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: goes very demonstratively throws Jamerson out of the game, which

446
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: is utterly ridiculous. We said at the time, stop grand standing.

447
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: You know it's stupid you're doing. If you have a

448
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: problem with a foul, talk to a kid. No one

449
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: ever does this before tom Izzo would understand. Even Izzo

450
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: said after the game, I've never seen that before, and

451
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: we said, this doesn't fly. Okay. Then about a half

452
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: hour later, we had the postgame from Mick Cronin where

453
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: he was still all wound up about what happened, and

454
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: he decided to go in on a reporter who asked

455
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: him an innocuous question about some chance that the Michigan

456
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: State student section was throwing out there. And this to

457
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: refresh you before we play as apology, Uh, this is

458
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: Mick Cronin from the other night, not happy when a

459
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: reporter's voice actually gets a little higher than it normally.

460
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: Should focus your thoughts in the student section, channing Booker's name,

461
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: I could give.

462
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 10: A rat's ass about the other team student section.

463
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: Overall the way, I would.

464
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 10: Like to give you a kudos for your worst question.

465
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: I've been asked.

466
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 6: Did you like it?

467
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 7: There?

468
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: Should take it the preparation? Do you really think I

469
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: care about the other I don't think you care about

470
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: the voice.

471
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 6: No, I was, come on, yes, you were. Everybody's standing

472
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 6: here listening to you.

473
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: Everybody this is on camera. They can hear you answered

474
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: the question.

475
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 10: I could give a rat's ass about the other team

476
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 10: student section if I coach U c l A. I

477
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 10: don't care about the Michigan State students.

478
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: Who cares on camera? On camera? Now, Jason.

479
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 5: As he finished the explanation, didn't he start to sound

480
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 5: like he was in a bit of the cadence of

481
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 5: Tommy Lasorda, which really is funny because the other guy

482
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 5: was trying to ask about the performance.

483
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, no, it was. He was very I'm telling

484
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: you it was a little bit of Tommy Lasorta and

485
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of Franca Stanza. You want a piece

486
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: of me? Like, it's a little bit of both that

487
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of both of those things, which

488
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: are two of the funniest things you'll ever watch in

489
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: your life. So I kind of felt like it was

490
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: kind of a mix of U are you raising your voice?

491
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: Of me? What the hell is that supposed to be?

492
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 7: Oh?

493
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 5: We needed in the curse a few times, and we

494
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 5: had some lee Eli and we got.

495
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: The hat trick in eighty five percent of the people

496
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: in Chicago have jobs. The other fifteen percent come out here.

497
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Oh boy. So when this happened the other night, we said,

498
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: Mick Cronin is gonna have no choice but to apologize.

499
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: Because certain things don't fly in certain programs. Sometimes a

500
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: coach can get away with saying something like this, I'm

501
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: throwing my player out of the game again it you know,

502
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: certain programs, certain parts of the country. Hey, we're a

503
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: little more lenient for something like this. We can forgive

504
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: something like this a little bit more. We understand. We

505
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: want to find out where the coach is coming from.

506
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: But UCLA, this is UCLA. They still talk about John

507
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: Wooden here they talk about John would like you stopped

508
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: coaching two years ago, And every every UCLA head coach,

509
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: Steve Lavin will tell you, Jim Harrick will tell you

510
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: are in the shadow of the greatest coach to ever

511
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: grace a sideline in almost any sport. The reverence that

512
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: people still talk about John wood UCLA is one of

513
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: those schools where, hey, we got to be doing a

514
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: little bit better than everybody else, right, And not that

515
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: not that I talk about other schools, but like you know,

516
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: there's certain schools where hey, okay, this is not that big.

517
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: You know, we're bathing in all kinds of controversy and

518
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: we just move on, you know, like it's Alabama, you know,

519
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is you know, we just have stuff happening. Hey,

520
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: this is nothing. This is just a normal Tuesday for us,

521
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: and we move on. But here in Los Angeles, I

522
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: mean Westwood, it is. It is not that case. And

523
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: we knew. We thought there's going to be an apology

524
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: or he's going to take a leave of absence from UCLA.

525
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: And when he didn't, when he didn't have to take

526
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: a leave, and the next day there was no decision

527
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: by UCLA, we said there's going to be an apology

528
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: before they play their next game. There's absolutely happening because

529
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: this is not something that goes by being cool at UCLA,

530
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: where you demonstratively throw a kid out of a game

531
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: and then you melt down at reporters and you make

532
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: the school look bad. Because that's what Mick Cronin did.

533
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: Well today, Mick Cronin had to apologize and he stood

534
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: in front of reporters, which you know he didn't want

535
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: to do. At all for four minutes, and he talked

536
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: about being sorry for what he did to Stephen Jamison,

537
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: throwing him out of the game. Here's a little bit

538
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: of Mick Cronan from earlier today.

539
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 10: First of all, I want you guys know some I'm

540
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 10: I already apologized to Steve.

541
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: Okay. I thought that he took.

542
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 10: The guy out like the kid at Providence took the

543
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 10: guy from Saint John's. That's the only reason I sent

544
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 10: him to the locker room. I thought he literally made

545
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 10: a dirty playing try to wipe the guy out.

546
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't have the film.

547
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 10: Once I saw the film, I mean, he's still got

548
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 10: an f one, to be honest with you, I don't

549
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 10: even know if he deserved that when I watched it.

550
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 10: You know, coaches thought the same thing when I communicated

551
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 10: with him. But I thought he tried to wipe the

552
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 10: guy out, which to me, you.

553
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 9: Know, that's a bad play, Like, you can't be down

554
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 9: twenty five, You're getting your butt kicked. Don't try to

555
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 9: take somebody out, hurt somebody on the other team, which

556
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 9: is what I thought.

557
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 10: Now I'm short, I was blocked him on the other end.

558
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 10: Obviously their reaction. I thought he tried to crush this kid.

559
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 4: Okay, hey, block damn secured my vision.

560
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: You know. First of all, for him to start and say,

561
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: just so you know, I already apologized to Steven, Like

562
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: right away, I could tell this apology was gonna suck, right,

563
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: I could tell it was gonna suck, because right we say,

564
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: I've already apologized to Steven, like, you guys don't need

565
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: to know that I've done this. The last thing he

566
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: wanted to do is be out there in front of

567
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: reporters and apologize me. That's a best thing he wanted

568
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: to do is apologize for this. But when he starts

569
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: up by saying I've already apologized to him, like it's over. No, dude,

570
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: you aired him out in front of a national audience.

571
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: There is nobody in the country that doesn't know what happened,

572
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: what you did to this kid. Nobody in the country

573
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: that doesn't know. And now he went on the next

574
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: few minutes and talked about him and what he's like

575
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: as a player. And that's great, right, that's awesome. But

576
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: just the fact that he starts I already apologize to him. Dude,

577
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: you need to come out and say, hey, this is

578
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: not me this is not the standard everything, but the

579
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: fact that he comes out when he says, I've already apologized, No, no, no,

580
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: you embarrass a guy nationally. You have to apologize match.

581
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: People have to see this apology from you. And I'm

582
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: sorry that it looks like it is pulling teeth from

583
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: you to get you out here. But you have to

584
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 1: apologize because you know what you were wrong. You are

585
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: absolutely wrong. And then when he goes on to say,

586
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: you know, I know I'm not bigger than the brand, Like,

587
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: that's another reason why I know his apologies suck because

588
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: he said that I know I'm not bigger than the brand.

589
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: Clearly you are because you continually do things that paint

590
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: UCLA in a controversial and bad light. Again, this is UCLA, man.

591
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that he really knows where he coaches,

592
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: even though he's been here for how many years? Big

593
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: runs into the tournament, Like, if you really knew and said, hey,

594
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: I know where I coach, then we wouldn't be talking

595
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: about you yelling at the fan, blaming fans for a

596
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: loss like you did last year, throwing a kid out,

597
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: melting down at a reporter. I don't think you really know, man,

598
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: I think you'd think I'm coaching big time college basketball,

599
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: but only don't think you know, and it's and it's

600
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: it's insane. But but but when I see him say,

601
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: I you know, I know I'm not bigger than Brandon. No,

602
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: clearly you do, because there are so many instances we've

603
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: had the last few years where boy, can you believe

604
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: Mick Cronin said this, And you know, people want to

605
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: talk on social media about the ratio, Oh what do

606
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: you get? Ratio? That means your point is really bad? Well,

607
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: this is where if Mick Cronin all this stuff is

608
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: on social media, he'd be ratioed the entire time. Every

609
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: single thing he said. I don't I can't even count

610
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: the number of times he has said something where I

611
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: would say, wow, I don't know that, I would say that,

612
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, I would say that, and and it

613
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: didn't paint him or UCLA in a good light. But

614
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: yet he continues to do it, and it doesn't really

615
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: show any signs of slowing down. Now I would have

616
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: to think, now, I don't know, but I would have

617
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: to think that UCLA would sit down and say to him, Okay,

618
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: this is not the early twenties where hey, you say this,

619
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: but we're having surprise runs deep in the NCAA tournament

620
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: and where miracle shots away from beating Gonzaga and moving

621
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: on Final four. Last three years ain't been great and

622
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: we're probably not going tournament again this year. Next time

623
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: something like this happens, yeah, get your resume ready because

624
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: we're not gonna go through this again. We're not gonna

625
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: have you embarrass a school again like this when the

626
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: results are not there and I'm sure they got a

627
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: short list of names right now that said. Okay, if

628
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: something happens the rest of this year, who knows how

629
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna go. We still have a few games left.

630
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: Who knows that McK cronin's gonna say or do over

631
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: the next a few weeks. Let's be ready in case

632
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: we have to do something, because Mick cronin, he absolutely

633
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: has to be on his last chance with what's going on,

634
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: especially what happened the last couple of days here, because

635
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: none of this flies and I still cake it over

636
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: how Jamerson, how these kids are going to go back

637
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: and say, yeah, coach, you got my back? Like do

638
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: you really think he has your back? You really think

639
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: some of the things he says and does. He feels

640
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: like he's two people, right. He feels like the mc

641
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: cronin that you think you see and then you see

642
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: the public mccronin that is becoming more and more. He's

643
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: the real mc cronin. So I gotta think he's on

644
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: his last chance here.

645
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 5: Well, what's curious about it all is you know the

646
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 5: tone and tenor and whenever you take the talking point

647
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 5: of I'm not bigger than the brand right off the jump,

648
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 5: that is, you know, public relations one oh one from

649
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 5: the school. All right, here's the bullet points you're gonna

650
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 5: have to hit. I'm not bigger than the brand. The

651
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 5: brand of UCLA basketball extends beyond me. Look, guys in Westwood,

652
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 5: we've seen it for the last couple of coaches. But

653
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 5: if you win enough, you can get away with it

654
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 5: for a while. And for mc cronin, you can be

655
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 5: a chat ass and everybody kind of chuckles and it's

656
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 5: charming now, but legitimately, and we've watched this with every sport,

657
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 5: right with Bill Belichick, you can be a bit of

658
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 5: a pill to the local media unless they ask you

659
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 5: about the other team's special teams. For as long as

660
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 5: you want if you're winning Super Bowls and running towards

661
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 5: towards a deep playoff run. If you're not, then that

662
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 5: suddenly it's not cute anymore. For everybody, it becomes all right,

663
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 5: just answer the question. They're tough guy, and let's move on.

664
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 5: So for McK cronin, you have all of that. I

665
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 5: also wonder and as we sit here tonight, and maybe

666
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 5: I'm overreaching, but let's have a little fun with this.

667
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 5: How much of the tang situation at Kansas State comes

668
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 5: in here fired for cause, for disparaging his players. Hey,

669
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 5: you won't be in the uniform and all of that stuff,

670
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 5: and now that's going to be a lawsuit. But what

671
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 5: McK cronin did. He embarrassed the university and he embarrassed

672
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 5: that kid. There's no two ways. And you can't unring

673
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 5: that bell, you can't unring the video, and you can't

674
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 5: take back the audio what you did to that reporter.

675
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 5: Now some might think it's funny, a I rolled me,

676
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 5: But again, be better, be better in the moment, and

677
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 5: everybody has our worst moments. You don't want to be

678
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 5: judged by him. I get that, But it's a consistent

679
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 5: pattern of this kind of tact from Mick Cronan through

680
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 5: the years. So this is the latest. So I'm wondering

681
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 5: if he didn't get threatened with that in part of it. Hey,

682
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 5: you can't keep embarrassing what we are here.

683
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,120

Speaker 1: let you come back and play. That's fine, lose. I

754
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,240

00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,480

769
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: in a heap. He got elbowed like in the top

770
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: of the ribs, and it was like a WWE when

00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: someone comes off the rope and kicks you in the

772
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: face and knocks you down. Lebron just went down in

773
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: a heap, like, Oh, what just happened to him? I

774
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: can't believe it.

775

Speaker 1: So we'll we have more of basketball on the court

790
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: tonight coming up in a bit. But Pablo Tory is

791
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: turning out to be the thorn in the side of

792
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: the NBA that you never knew existed, but we all need. Apparently,

793
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: Pablo Tory is continuing to find out things that the

794
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: NBA might not want him to find out. Pablo Tory,

795
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: who ESPN journalist who has become a big investigative reporter

796
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: the Pablo Tory Finds Out podcast, said a really interesting

797
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: thing that's now gaining a lot of attention when it

798
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: comes to the NBA lottery and things being rigged. He

799
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: said recently on Trap House podcast that he was at

800
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: an event and he spoke to two NBA owners the

801
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: day after the NBA Draft lottery, which of course went

802
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: the Mavericks way and they got Cooper Flag, he said

803
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: the day after the NBA lottery, and those two owners

804
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: are both like, this was obviously fixed on Dallas winning

805
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: the lottery after the Luka Doncic trade. Hey, we need

806
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: to keep Dallas at the forefront. It's a big market team.

807
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: We got to make sure you know this is all.

808
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: Of course, everybody is thinking this when it happened. And

809
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: now here's Pablo Torre saying, I spoke to two owners,

810
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: two owners who said, obviously it was fixed.

811
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 4: Were they two owners that had fourteen percent probability?

812
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 6: And let's say.

813
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: I thought we were getting it. Now how to wind

814
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: up losing it? We did everything right. We did everything

815
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: right in terms of sucking. We told our fans to

816
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: wear it. I mean, Pablo Tory is the Freddy Krueger

817
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: to the NBA. It's like, can you please stop your

818
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: haunting our nightmares with whether you're whatever you find out

819
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: about Kawhi Leonard and planting trees and now here you

820
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: have the NBA. You spoke to two owners who said

821
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: the lottery was fixed. This is the this is the

822
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: thing about the draft lottery. We talked so much about

823
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 1: the NBA and fixing tanking and absolute number one thing

824
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 1: you gotta fix tanking because you're you're seeing teams tank. Now,

825
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: you're seeing teams sit their best players in the fourth quarter.

826
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: They are thumbing their nose at the NBA. And this

827
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: is what the shocking thing about tanking is. It's not

828
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: where Hey, tanking's out there, so teams are gonna say, hey,

829
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: let's take it easy a little bit here. We don't

830
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: want the spotlight on us. No, teams are now saying

831
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: we don't care. We are not starting playing our guys

832
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: in the fourth The Wizards didn't play two of the

833
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 1: guys in the Rising Stars game in the fourth quarter

834
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: last night, right, So it's like, what's going on. The

835
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: teams are now saying, yeah, we don't care what you

836
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: say about rules and tank blank. We are now thumbing

837
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: our nose that you and saying we're gonna do whatever

838
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: the hell we want to. So obviously tanking is something

839
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: that now has gotten to be such a too big

840
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: a deal where there's no way they can ignore it.

841
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: The next thing they gotta fix is the draft, because

842
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: there is no more public trust in the NBA draft.

843
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: The next thing you're gonna have to get to is

844
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: NFL officiating in the playoffs, especially at arrowhead. But let's

845
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: deal with this first. Is that when you lose public

846
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: trust in something, you're never getting it back. And there's

847
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: been too much smoke around around drafts, around draft picks,

848
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: around lotteries, around officiating overall in the last few years

849
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: to where you are not going to get that public

850
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: trust back in it. Right, there is no public trust

851
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: in the NBA lottery. If somehow the Knicks were in

852
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 1: the NBA draft lottery, it's all what's gonna happen today? Hey,

853
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: they want with a number one pick and they get boozer. Oh, look,

854
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: how fixed that is. NBA can say no, no, it's not,

855
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: it's not, it's not. But how many times can you

856
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: see instances like this and say no, come on, it's not. No,

857
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: come on, it's not. And when I hear insiders and

858
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: people who covered the NBA for a living and cover

859
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: the NFL for a living and they talk about, yeah,

860
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: I can't refute it. This is too much smoke, man.

861
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: There is too much smoke around this, and there is

862
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: no public trust. If the if taking is number one

863
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: thing that the NBA's got to fix because it kind

864
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: of goes hand in hand because you're tanking for draft picks.

865
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: Then the draft is the next thing, because really that

866
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: that's the next thing that people have no confidence, and

867
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: especially coming off that last year.

868
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 5: I talked about the eighty five Bears earlier. Let's go

869
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 5: all the way back to the draft lottery of those years.

870
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 5: What happened frozen envelope? When a guy from a little

871
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 5: kid from Akron comes up, Hey, what happens Tada, he's

872
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 5: in Cleveland.

873
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 6: It's a goofy ass man.

874
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, the goofy ass kid. Or now he's goofy

875
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 5: ass man Derek Rose to Chicage. I mean, there's been

876
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 5: so many through the years. This Cooper flag one one

877
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 5: point eight percent. Now the year before they would say hah,

878
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 5: Atlanta got nothing. They won with three percent chance. The

879
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 5: year before there was not obviously a Cooper flag to

880
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 5: be had, nor were they making up for the sins

881
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 5: or what looked like a sweetheart deal of a trade.

882
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 5: But all of that to say, I think the draft

883
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 5: lottery for many many years has been the yeah, but

884
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 5: what are you gonna do?

885
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 4: Kind of throw your arms up and just accept it.

886
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 5: For the the debacle that it has been on countless occasions.

887
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'd like to be able to say, well,

888
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, do you really think this can happen? And

889
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm starting to I mean, one thing is like, if

890
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 1: you want to fix something this big, eventually someone's gonna

891
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: blab right, like that's all I think. Too many people's right,

892
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: too many people know we would know about that. And

893
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: I still think that certain things like there's no way

894
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: this can be fixed it too much. But now when

895
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: I start seeing this and seeing people weighing in, I'm like, well,

896
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: they would kind of know, they'd kind of be in

897
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: on it, they would kind of have to know. Like

898
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: I can't say that anymore, man. And that's what I mean.

899
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: It's about public trust, and there is no public trust

900
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 1: in the draft anymore.

901
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,480
