29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: this team out of the I believe they're in the

30
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: South bracket, maybe the Midwest, but I like this team

31
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: to advance the second weekend of the NC DOUBLEA Tournament.

32
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm not certain they're going to a final four. They

33
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: are in the Midwest, and I'm not certain they're going

34
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: to the final four, but I do like them to.

35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 3: Advance to at least the sweet sixteen. Who's their first

36
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: round opponent?

37
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: I have no Alabama? Alabama?

38
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: Wow, how about that. I have no idea though Alabama.

39
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: I only know that because there's a kid suspended on

40
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: the Alabama team. And that's why I like Speedy Claxton

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: to advance to the second weekend of the NC DOUBLEA Tournament.

42
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 6: Yes, Taylor Andzy. Once you get past that first round,

43
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,480

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 6: new four seed.

45
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: Theoretically, Yes, yeah, true, absolutely, yes, it resets. That's what

46
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: March is all about Ryan Howard is going to join

Speaker 1: Taylor says that the World Baseball Classic wasn't prepared for

50
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,240

60
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 6: No, this is my third or fourth game, and this

00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 6: in the previous games I've been to? They never had

68
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 6: any Italian gear. So when I'm going to the game

69
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 6: at lone Depot Park, I'm like, okay, now they have

70
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 6: to have Italy gear in this team store. You get

71
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 6: to the team's store, every Venezuela players jersey was available

72
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 6: for purchase. I could have bought a jersey of Venezuela's

73
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 6: backup catcher from twelve years ago. Wow, not a single

74
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 6: not a single team.

75
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: Italy jersey, No passquatch, merch, nothing jerseys.

76
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 5: They had jerseys, always overpriced and never good enough.

77
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was sixty five dollars for a get out of.

78
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 5: And then was there a music situation where they're not

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 5: giving you the proper Italian music options?

80
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 6: So they played one Italian song the entire game.

81
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: Was it? Wow?

82
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 6: I believe it was something Andrea Boceelli so cliche one yesh.

83
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 6: They played that one song in the eighth inning isy.

84
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 6: Every other song was a Hispanic song, and I have

85
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 6: no problem with Hispanic music. The crowd was eighty five

86
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 6: percent ninety five percent probably Venezuela, right, but give us,

87
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 6: give us a break. They took our crowd completely out

88
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 6: of that. When you say our crowd, what did you?

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: You said? It was ninety five percent Venezuela.

90
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 5: If it was a home game, you still might get

91
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 5: five percent Italians.

92
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: It's okay in Venezuela. So how was this different than

93
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: it seems a home game. It seems like it was

94
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: their crowd.

95
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, but the Italians needed something to get juiced

96
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,559
Speaker 6: up about. We already were juiced up that they moved

97
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 6: Aaron Nola up from the championship game to the semifinal game,

98
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 6: and then when Lorenz came in, it was kind of

99
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 6: like we're pushing all our chips in just to get

100
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 6: to the final, because Izy, those were the only two

101
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 6: starters the Italian team really had, and even if they

102
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 6: got to the USA game, we were probably Mario or

103
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 6: Luigi at that point.

104
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Aaron Nola, of course from Baton Rouge. It's in

105
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: his last name. It's not Aaron Italy, it's Aaron New Orleans.

106
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: Perhaps all the Italy players were on USA jerseys. Did

107
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: you really examine the merchandise store or no.

108
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 6: And they had the Judge jerseys, they had the cal

109
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 6: Rawly jerseys. I didn't see any Jacob Marcy jerseys.

110
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm pretty sure when they were thinking about this,

111
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 5: they were like all right, even if Italy makes it

112
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 5: to the semi final here, what percentage of South Floridians

113
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 5: are really going to be cheering for Italy?

114
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 6: So the only thing I was able to buy there

115
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 6: for the audio audience, I'm wearing an Italian baseball hat.

116
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 6: And this is further proof that I know that they

117
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 6: were not prepared because I bought this hat. At the game,

118
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 6: every team there that was represented had flags on their

119
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 6: hat of their country. Italy is the only one that didn't,

120
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 6: so I don't even know where they got the eyes.

121
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: Yes, is their hat red white and blue, red white

122
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: and green? It looks blue.

123
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 6: It does look blue.

124
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 5: It should be red white and blue though, right, I

125
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 5: mean yeah, I mean they're on the ocean, so maybe

126
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 5: blue should be something that comes into play. But that

127
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 5: just has an eye on it. Now I want it.

128
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 2: Those look like Illinois hats that they colored in quickly.

129
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: Eye for Israel. Goody eras that's why he wants it.

130
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 5: Yes, and it doesn't have the Italian flag on there,

131
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 5: so it would just be for me.

132
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 6: Correct?

133
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Are you fired up for tonight?

134
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 4: Is he?

135
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: Are you fired up for this game?

136
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,239
Speaker 3: Which game? What's tonight?

137
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: I mean the world?

138
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 5: The Hornets played the Heat again. Big time Eastern Conference matchup.

139
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 5: They're very close to each other in the standings. Huge

140
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 5: game tonight, so you're not. I mean, listen, if Taylor

141
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 5: texts me, let's say ten pm, and says you have

142
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 5: to turn on the World Baseball Classic right now, some

143
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 5: great stuff going on.

144
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,559
Speaker 3: Maybe that's a maybe?

145
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: All right? So is he?

146
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 6: The pitching matchup tonight is Nolan McLain, a Mets rookie

147
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 6: versus Eduardo Rodriguez, who had a mid five e R

148
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 6: last year. If that doesn't get you excited, check your pulse.

149
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: Have allowed about to ask who who's starting for whom?

150
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: Yes, and put that on the poll. By the way,

151
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: if that doesn't get you excited, check your pulse.

152
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 5: Because Eduardo Rodriguez does not sound Italian either.

153
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 6: And it's basically a road game for the USA tonight.

154
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 6: This is like the USA. Sorry, the USA has played

155
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 6: three games this tournament, including tonight, where they're basically the

156
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 6: road team. They played Mexico in Houston and then they

157
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 6: played the Dominican Republic in Miami. So USA should be

158
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 6: pretty used to this. This atmosphere that they're walking into tonight.

159
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 5: That I'd be I'd want to watch, Like, I know

160
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 5: it's happened a couple of times, but I want to

161
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 5: see that type of reaction for a final if you

162
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 5: feel like you're a home in a home in a

163
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 5: road game on home turf.

164
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 6: Stu, Yeah, the best crowd I've ever been in really

165
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 6: last night last night.

166
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: Wow.

167
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 6: So it leads up to a thing or two to one.

168
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 6: Juhennio Suarez hit a home run at one point and

169
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 6: they get it. Venezuela stringing together a two out rally

170
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 6: and I'm the only Italian sitting in this section and

171
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 6: they are just stringing hit after hit after hit. Lone

172
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 6: Depot Park. It was shaking. It was so loud that

173
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 6: I was like, it does stink that my team is

174
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 6: on the receiving end of this. But it was cool

175
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 6: to just be in the building and see how fired

176
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 6: up everybody was.

177
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: Taylor put it on the pall after tonight. Will Loan

178
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: Depot ever shake again?

179
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just putting this together.

180
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 5: The US Venezuela and the sort of political situation going

181
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 5: on over here.

182
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: This could get ugly in this dance.

183
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: It could be a bad situation.

184
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 6: You're right, so, Stu, it's gonna shake again. It's just

185
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 6: gonna be three years from now, in the next World

186
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 6: Baseball Classic. In the next three years, Okay, rephrase it,

187
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 6: or if the Savannah Bananas come to town.

188
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: Yes, Drew Brees played with him last night.

189
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: Did you see this shuck? Yeah, sod you do a dance?

190
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: No idea gimmick.

191
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 6: Get those gimmick guys out of here, gimmick.

192
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 5: Did you see the one dude who caught the baseball

193
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 5: mid backflip and then landed like a superhero. That is crazy,

194
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 5: one of the most impressive athletic feats I've ever seen.

195
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's a gimmick.

196
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 3: I'm with Taylor, give me that gimmick all day.

197
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

198
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 6: If you're over the age of eight and you're talking

199
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 6: to me about the Savannah Bananas and you're not bringing

200
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:24,479
Speaker 6: your kids.

201
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: Get a life, Get out of here, get a life.

202
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 6: Get your gimmicks out of here. Baseball was meant to

203
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 6: be played the way baseball is being played.

204
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: Yes, Mike, Yeah, but you're taking your kids. You're taking

205
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: your kids.

206
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: No, not no choice. He's dragging his kids.

207
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: Yes, get a life.

208
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: Nah, I'm all about it, Mike. You have fun.

209
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: Taylor also put this on the poll. Are the Chiefs

210
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: going to turn Justin Fields into a Hall of Fame

211
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: running back or wide receiver? I feel like they might.

212
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: Is he What were your thoughts here before we get

213
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: to stake on Jalen Waddle. It's weird. It's a rare

214
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: trade where I feel like it's good for both sides.

215
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: The Dolphins get a first round pick, they get a

216
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: third round pick, and they're clearly clearly starting over where

217
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: the Broncos are inside that championship window with a quarterback

218
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: on a rookie contract, and they get themselves a very

219
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: good wide receiver. Yeah.

220
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 5: It is funny to me the people that are only

221
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 5: now recognizing that the Dolphins are tanking next year. I

222
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 5: saw something on a show earlier which just like, oh,

223
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 5: clearly the Dolphins are tank.

224
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, no kidding, And we've known that.

225
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 5: It's just a matter of whether a chan's gonna be

226
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 5: gone too, I believe, even though he's not that expensive. Look,

227
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 5: it's interesting with Jalen Waddle because when he left Alabama

228
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 5: and they were in that he was in that group

229
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 5: with Devonte Smith and you know Ruggs was another receiver

230
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 5: he was out there with. They called him reportedly the

231
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 5: athletic one, which is crazy to think about when you're

232
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 5: comparing yourself to all these other athletic receivers. And so

233
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, this is gonna be lights out. This

234
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 5: guy's going to get open whenever he wants. He doesn't

235
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 5: strike me as the guy. You know, I play a

236
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 5: lot of football and there's guys that come in the

237
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 5: huddle and just say, trust me, I'll be open, just

238
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 5: throw me the ball, or I'll make the catch, just

239
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 5: throw me the ball.

240
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 3: He doesn't feel like that guy to me. He feels very.

241
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 5: Much like a system receiver where hey, like, I'm gonna

242
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 5: run my route amazingly and if the defense happens to

243
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 5: you know, have a hole right where I'm going throw

244
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 5: me that ball.

245
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: But I don't really have a history.

246
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 5: Of remembering him, you know, winning a bunch of fifty

247
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 5: to fifty balls, really just shaking his guy. Whether it

248
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 5: be on the line, whether it be on a move

249
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 5: or anything like that. He just seems like once he

250
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 5: is in open space, he's a good athlete. But it's

251
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 5: he a number one wide receiver that says I can

252
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 5: get that ball. Target him fifteen times a day a game,

253
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna feel great about the end result.

254
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

255
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: Right, Well, the Dolphins got a number one pick for

256
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: a number two wide receiver.

257
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I saw exactly and I saw you know,

258
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 5: they're even projected to possibly draft a wide receiver out eleven.

259
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 3: And if this is the way you're going, Yeah, you

260
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: get a guy who's not clearly a number one.

261
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 5: And you say, hey, I'll take my chances to see

262
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 5: if this next guy I draft can be a number

263
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 5: one at a lower cost.

264
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have seven of the first ninety four picks

265
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: in this year's draft. Now do you trust them to

266
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: do the right things with those picks?

267
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 5: I mean, I do know these people have never drafted

268
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 5: for Miami before, so we'll see. This will be the

269
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 5: first chance that we get. But that having said that

270
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 5: about Jalen with Miami in terms of not being a

271
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 5: single like game breaking type of wide receiver, I do

272
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 5: think he's very good for bow Knicks and the Broncos

273
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 5: because bo Nicks is a system quarterback.

274
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: Right like.

275
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 5: He He's made some throws where I'm just like, man,

276
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 5: that's pretty impressive. But you don't leave him out here

277
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 5: to just sort of be the you know, the gun

278
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 5: slinging quarterback that you trust.

279
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: With every throw.

280
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 5: But if he sees a throw and it's there and

281
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 5: it's available, he can make that. So I think he

282
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 5: and Wadall are going to have a good relationship and

283
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 5: they're both going to, you know, benefit off of each other.

284
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 5: But I don't think it's going to be Waddle's going

285
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 5: to be my clear number one, fifteen to twenty targets

286
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 5: and we hope he catches like double figures.

287
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to be that.

288
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: Can you name a single wide receiver in the Dolphins

289
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver room? Because Malik Willis cannot be happy with

290
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: the Dolphins getting rid of the one guy that he

291
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: may have come here.

292
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 5: For only because we just talked about him to too

293
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 5: at Well joining Warmer Bronco.

294
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a very memorable name. But outside of that, no,

295
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 3: who else is in there? Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert never

296
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 3: heard of him.

297
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm reading here, by the way, I don't know this

298
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: off the top of my head. Terrence Marshall Junior, never

299
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: heard of him. THEO Weze Junior. A couple of juniors

301

316
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: one podcast, which he co hosts with Jimmy Rollins, where

317
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: they talk to some of the biggest names and personalities

318
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: in sports, entertainment and culture. Ryan, are you enjoying the

319
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: podcast game?

320
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 4: Man?

321
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 7: I am. I'm loving it. I get to do it

322
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 7: with my boy young James Jimmy Rollins.

323
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 4: Uh.

324
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 7: We just continue to pick up where we left off

325
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 7: just clowning. You know. We get to include other people

326
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 7: along with that, so we're just we're having a lot

327
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 7: of fun doing it.

328
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: Is is Jimmy Rollins the most confident person you know

329
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: in your life.

330
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 7: That is going to be a very safe Yes, he

331
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 7: doesn't lack for confidence at all. Not a shy guy.

332
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 7: Not a shy guy at all, you know. But that's

333
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 7: just always been Jimmy, you know. I mean, obviously you

334
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 7: go back to when we were playing. He made the

335
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 7: prediction back in two thousand and seven of us being

336
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 7: the team to beat, and we followed it up. So

337
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 7: it's fun to be able to continue this journey with him.

338
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: Right.

339
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 5: This has been driving me crazy ever since Perdomo struck

340
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 5: out against the United States the other day, where people

341
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 5: are discussing that you have to fight that ball off,

342
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 5: you have to with two strikes swing at anything near

343
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 5: the play. My thought process on that is the only

344
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 5: reason that's really a thing is because you're saying to yourself, well,

345
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 5: this umpire might be a dummy. He might not be

346
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 5: able to see that this is a ball, right, and

347
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 5: so I have to swing at that. But if you

348
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 5: have an eye, if you can discern what's the ball

349
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 5: and the strike and you let that go, oh you

350
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 5: have done your job. So you tell me, should he like,

351
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 5: let's say it was nineteen eighty and there's no idea

352
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 5: of ABS or anything like that, should he have swung

353
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 5: at that? Because I contend no, you just got to

354
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 5: trust that the umpire is gonna help good and do

355
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 5: the right thing.

356
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 7: Well, the first thing is is that you know the

357
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 7: umpires are human, and we talk about this a lot

358
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 7: where the action is happening so fast and it's it's

359
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 7: you know, less than a blink of an eye to

360
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 7: where these guys have to try to make you know,

361
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 7: in some instances kind of an educated guess, right, because

362
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 7: you know the ones that are right there, right down

363
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 7: the middle and you know belt high or whatnot, those

364
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 7: are those are gonna be pure strikes, balls like that

365
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 7: where it could be borderline where it's like where's the

366
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 7: bottom of the zone. You know this year for the

367
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 7: season coming up, you know, fortunately we'll have ABS and

368
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 7: that would be something to where Perdomo would be able

369
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 7: to go back and he would he would tap on that.

370
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 7: I will I will say there were calls you know,

371
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 7: both ways, you know, against both teams. That one obviously

372
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 7: is you know, having been a guy that's struck out

373
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 7: to end the game and into a big postseason game.

374
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 7: It's it's tough because you're you're sitting there and you

375
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 7: have a knowledge of what your strike zone is and

376
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 7: where the game is today. These guys with all the

377
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 7: analytics and all the information that they're given, you know,

378
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 7: one of the things they're told to do is not chase.

379
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 7: So they have a very good knowledge of the zone.

380
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 7: So for him to not go after that pitch, that's

381
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 7: whatever his zone was. And I mean, it's it's a

382
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 7: tough one. It's it's a very tough one. But you

383
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 7: know the umpires are going to make mistakes and you

384
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 7: know that's that's one now where you know, moving forward,

385
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 7: maybe the next WBC has the ABS and we don't

386
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 7: even have that problem.

387
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,239
Speaker 5: But he sleeps fine at night, right, he knows he

388
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 5: did the right thing. Like I don't know if that's

389
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 5: happened to you in a decent spot or a big

390
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 5: spot or whatever, but you you gotta be comfortable with

391
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 5: your decision there, right, because you know who messed up

392
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 5: and it wasn't you who Perdomo.

393
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, No, he don't sleep with No, he's not sleeping

394
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 7: They lost the game.

395
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

396
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's not sleeping good at all. He's not sleeping

397
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 7: good at all. I mean, you know, even if he

398
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 7: stayed within his zone, he stayed within what he was

399
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 7: trying to do in his approach, and to have something

400
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 7: like that happen, I mean, yeah, you're you're you're not

401
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 7: sleeping one because you lost the game, and two because

402
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 7: you know, you feel like you might have been cheated

403
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 7: or robbed of an opportunity to continue to try to

404
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 7: keep the ball game going.

405
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 6: Ryan, you had a thirteen year career in Philadelphia the

406
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 6: entire time. What is it like going through a slump

407
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 6: in Philadelphia with those fans sleepless nights?

408
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 7: I mean, wow, Wow, I'll tell you what, man, it's

409
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 7: it's Philadelphia is one of those places where the fans,

410
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 7: the passion of the fans, they want you to do well.

411
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 7: They want you to do well. They want you to

412
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 7: do so well that it hurts, and then when it

413
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 7: hurts you lash out sometime, you know, but they want

414
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 7: a blue collar effort. And I think like as long

415
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 7: as you can go out and try to give a

416
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 7: blue collar effort, they understand it. I mean, in years past,

417
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 7: you know, you got the whole thing. With throwing batteries

418
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 7: at snowballs at Santa Claus and you know, you get

419
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 7: booed here and there what not. And then the turnaround,

420
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 7: you know when when Trey Turner kind of came in

421
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 7: and he got off to a slow start, and you know,

422
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 7: the crowd decided to cheer him, you know, and then

423
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 7: he was able to turn it around. So, I mean,

424
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 7: it's it has its moments at times, but you got

425
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 7: to understand, Hey, that's what happens when you sign a

426
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 7: permission slip and you're playing in Philadelphia, you play in

427
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 7: that Northeast. You got to grow some thick skin. And

428
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 7: I say, if you can play in the Northeast starting

429
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 7: your season, your career out, then you can go play anywhere.

430
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: Speaking of guys playing in the Northeast, what do you

431
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: say to Yankee fans who are complaining that Aaron Judge

432
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: is not nearly as emotional or fired up to play

433
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: for the Yankees as he is for Team US at

434
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: Yankee fans want to see it all season, Ryan, You.

435
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 7: Know what, maybe we will. Yeah, maybe this is maybe

436
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 7: this is what gets them going, you know, for for

437
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 7: for those games. You know, he's just it's one hundred

438
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 7: and sixty two games, and with this WBC, I think

439
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 7: it's what it's maybe more like twelve, you know, like seven, eight,

440
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 7: ten games something like that. So it's uh, hopefully for

441
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 7: the Yankee fans and for Aaron Judge, you know, the

442
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 7: emotion that he's showing out here, he'll he'll carry it over,

443
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 7: you know, because this is a postseason, preseason, yes, the preseason. Yes,

444
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 7: you know what I mean. All these games me they

445
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 7: mean something. There, there's there's there's so much more to it,

446
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 7: and all these countries and all these players are putting

447
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 7: all this emotion into it, which I think is an

448
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 7: amazing for the game. We saw it in the World

449
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 7: Series last year, you know where you know, you had

450
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 7: the Dodgers and you had the Blue Jays going at

451
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 7: it last year and you could see the emotion from

452
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 7: both teams, and it's just just carrying over into this

453
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 7: World Baseball Classic, which hopefully you know, it'll carry over

454
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 7: into the season. But you got one hundred and sixty

455
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 7: two games, man, one hundred sixty You can't you can't

456
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 7: be like that every single day. You got yourself, Yeah, yeah,

457
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 7: you gotta pace yourself, pace yourself.

458
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: Did you find it ridiculous, like we did that. The

459
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: Italian team, all of them were from America.

460
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 7: But they represented though they represented they did Yeah, they

461
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 7: put they put Italy on their back, you know, and

462
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 7: they did a hell of a job. Man, they did

463
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 7: a hell of job. I mean, there's there's usually that

464
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 7: one Cinderella and the Italian team was that team. And

465
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 7: they played, they played hard, they played they played the

466
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 7: game the right way. That's that's the great part about

467
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 7: it is you're seeing different ways of how teams are

468
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 7: going about playing. And you know, Italy was able to

469
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,680

Speaker 7: it's uh. But it was a lot of fun. It

498
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 7: was fun being able to do it with Chase because normally,

499
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 7: like with Chase, everybody sees him, he's usually really quiet.

500
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 7: So getting for both of us kind of getting outside

501
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 7: of our box and our comfort zone, it was a

502
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 7: lot of fun to be able to do that.

503
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: Yesterday on the show, it was a mount rushmore Monday,

504
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: and I want to explain the topic that we went

505
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: with yesterday and get your thoughts on this. Okay, Mount

506
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: Rushmore Monday, we each picked a Mount Rushmore of pictures

507
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: we would want to start.

508
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 3: In a game for our life. We drafted them. Yeah,

509
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: it was a draft, a.

510
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: Draft, So I just want Ryan Howard's Mount Rushmore of

511
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: guys he would want starting in a game for his life,

512
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: meaning you know, a game seven I must wouldn't get

Speaker 7: All right, I'm gonna go.

515
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 5: So I'll give you a second to think about it,

516
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 5: because when you name somebody, if we had them on

517
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,720

Speaker 1: He gave us four. He's right, who is the guy

559
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: who is the person that you haven't had on the

560
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: podcast that you would most like to have on your podcast.

561
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 7: The person that I haven't had on the podcast yet. Yeah,

562
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 7: let's see, I would actually love I would love to

563
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 7: get man, there's so I mean, there's so many people

564
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 7: I'd love to get like a Michael Strahan on there,

565
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 7: you know, just just to be able to talk to him.

566
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 7: Met him before years ago and would love to get

567
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 7: him on there. Just he's just one of those guys

568
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 7: that you know, from the transition from football to all

569
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 7: the things that he's doing, you know, the from The

570
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 7: Morning America to his business endeavors. He's just such a great,

571
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 7: well rounded individual. So that's another person I would love

572
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 7: to be able to try to get up on the show.

573
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 5: I mean, there's just so many things to talk about

574
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 5: with him because he's done so many things you could

575
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 5: probably do.

576
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 7: Like he's like a Swiss army knife. He's a Swiss

577
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 7: army knife of greatness.

578
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, a Swiss army knife of greatness. That is

579
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: well said. Are the Dodgers bad for baseball?

580
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 7: Oh? You know what. Look, we come from the era

581
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 7: of if you don't like it, fix it. It's one

582
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 7: of those things like you could say, are the Dodgers

583
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 7: bad for baseball? It used to be are the Yankees

584
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 7: bad for baseball? Right? Because every single year you looked

585
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 7: at the Yankees roster and on paper, the Yankees were

586
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 7: supposed to run away and win it. So I don't

587
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 7: think the Dodgers are bad for baseball. I think everybody's

588
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 7: You just have to figure it out. You got to

589
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 7: figure out what works for you. I mean, you can't

590
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 7: be mad at them because of the success that they're

591
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 7: having and how they're going about doing it. You've got

592
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 7: to figure out how to do that for yourself.

593
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 5: The only thing I have a question for you, because

594
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 5: I know he's been on the pod and I've always

595
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 5: been intrigued by him as a personality.

596
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 3: How crazy is Hunter Pen's actually, you know what, He's.

597
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 7: Got the eyes crazy, It's just the energy level is

598
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 7: always up there. He's such a great guy, positive guy.

599
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 7: The energy level. I'm like, if I had like just

600
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 7: a fourth of what he'd have, I mean I'd be good.

601
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 7: He's just one of those very good, high energy guys.

602
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 7: So yeah, Hunter is great man, He's awesome.

603
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 5: There's a phrase we just learned, is it beamed up

604
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 5: or beamed out? I think it's beamed up and he's

605
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 5: just probably naturally beamed up.

606
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but those eyes are crazy. He's got some

607
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: crazy in those eyes, doesn't he. I mean, have you

608
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: filled out an NCAA bracket, Ryan Howard?

609
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 4: I have not.

610
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: I have not.

611
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 7: I have not yet.

612
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: But you're planning. You're planning on it, right.

613
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 7: Probably going to try to throw one out there.

614
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, I'm going to.

615
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 7: Try to throw one out there. It's tough, it's I mean,

616
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 7: there's there's a lot of good teams. There was a

617
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 7: lot of parody this year. You know, Arizona was looking

618
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 7: really really good early on, and then you had Houston

619
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 7: right there, Michigan, all those all the you know, those

620
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 7: squads there. It's going to be interesting because for whatever reason,

621
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 7: I always feel like Michigan's I haven't. I've been so

622
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 7: busy ripping and running around. I didn't even get to

623
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 7: see the election show yet. But State made it.

624
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Michigan, Yeah, yeah, they made it.

625

Speaker 7: It's more Michigan State to me. Man is always tom

626
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 7: Is like they always find a way to like make

627
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 7: it to the elite eight.

628
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: Every year they start.

629
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 7: Out hot, like they're in the top four. They disappear

630
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 7: in the middle of the year, and then all of

631
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,120

Speaker 4: How are you good? Thank you for having me?

659
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: Speedy. I am wondering because I followed you during your

660
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: playing career. Uh when is it? Because it's such a

661
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: cool thing. You you were born in Long Island, you

662
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: went to school at Hofstra, and now you're coaching Hofstra

663
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: and you coached him into the NCAA tournament. Such a

664
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: cool story. When did you decide that head coaching was

665
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: going to be a thing for you?

666
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 4: It came later on in my playing days, my last

667
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 4: year when I was a Golden State done Nelson. At

668
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 4: the time, he's the only player in my head because

669
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 4: up until that point I had no interest of coaching.

670
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 4: But one day he pulled me to the stars and

671
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 4: he's like, Speedy, have you ever thought about culture? And

672
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 4: I got said it up until that point and he's

673
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 4: like I was like, no, not really, and he's like,

674
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 4: you should think about it. I think it would make

675
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 4: a hell of a coach. And you know here I here,

676
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 4: you have a Hall of Fame coach. Tell me I

677
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 4: shoul get into Colder. So that's what I told you

678
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 4: to give it some thoughts.

679
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 3: Speedy Israel Gutierra's here.

680
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 5: You just just researching this interview just brings me back

681
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 5: so many memories because you started in the league when

682
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 5: I started covering the league back in two thousand and

683
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm just looking at the game logs from

684
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 5: your guys's finals.

685
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 3: He was with the Spurs and three you guys.

686
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 5: Left or held the nets under ninety points in every single.

687
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 3: Game of that finals. Man, what a different time that was.

688
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 5: How much from Greg Popovich did you learn and you know,

689
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 5: just about coaching. I know you said it was later

690
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 5: in your career that you you sort of got the

691
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 5: itch for it, But how much did Greg Popovich help

692
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 5: you out there?

693
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 4: The biggest The biggest thing I've learned from post Top

694
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 4: was how to relate to people and how to treat everybody,

695
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 4: all your players to staying on if they start player

696
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 4: all the less man on your team, like include everybody,

697
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 4: because that's how you really, you know, gain the respect

698
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 4: of everyone on the team.

699
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: Who is the who's the coach you've leaned on the most?

700
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 1: You played for Jay Wright? Is that the guy you've

701
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: leaned on the most in terms of your coaching career.

702
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 4: Honestly, I will probably Fortunately, I was fortunate to play

703
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 4: for some Hall of Fame coaches and coach Right and

704
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 4: Pop and Larry Brown. But the person I lean most

705
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 4: on will be coach Shaul Maanhouse, who gave me my

706
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 4: first thought into this coaching thing. He's really he's the

707
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 4: one who really taught me the game to a coaching lens.

708
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 6: Hey Sweedy Taylor. I'm also from from New York. What

709
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 6: do you think Hofstra has to do this tournament to

710
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 6: take the New York's team label away from Saint John's.

711
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 4: Yes, uh, I don't know. Maybe win a couple of

712
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 4: games here in the tonament and have them get a uh,

713
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 4: you know, have them have an early exit.

714
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: Now that's a great answer. Just go further than Saint

715
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: John's and you will take the city over. Ye yes, yes, then.

716
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 4: They have no choice but to move for us.

717
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: Yes, uh, tell us about your team speedy and what

718
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: makes your team so dangerous in this tournament here?

719
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 4: What a funny, exciting and we play a fun random basketball.

720
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 4: I have two really really good guards. And college basketball,

721
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 4: you give yourself a high chance of winning when you

722
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 4: have when you get good God plays and I have

723
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 4: two of the best, you know, starting with President Edmey's

724
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 4: young calendar freshman who exceeded expectations. He's he's one of

725
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,479
Speaker 4: our hardest workers, and he really truly loves the game

726
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 4: and that's why he's having the success that he's having.

727
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 4: And the pu's Davis, who will playing the year in

728
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 4: our conference, who didn't make any all conference teams last season,

729
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 4: and then you know, he came back and he worked

730
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 4: his butt off and you know he was playing the

731
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 4: year and he's anotherttle hard work. Like both those guys,

732
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 4: they come in and they post the game the right way, speedy.

733
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 5: I'm curious because you mentioned your freshman guard there, and

734
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 5: I've seen I don't know if it's just college basketball

735
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 5: getting more of my attention again or just sports fans attentions,

736
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 5: but I feel like there are a lot of like

737
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 5: really good players in places you wouldn't even think of,

738
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 5: and I'm watching a lot of highlights and I'm like,

739
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 5: that's an NBA talented player right there. I'm just curious

740
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 5: from your perspective, coaching at a school like Hofstra, but

741
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 5: seeing so many others, have you seen just more basketball talent,

742
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 5: just more spread out and is that just a factor

743
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 5: of hey, basketball is super popular, or do.

744
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 3: You think maybe nil or something like that has something

745
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 3: to do with it.

746
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 4: I see, I will n I have a lot to

747
00:35:58,840 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 4: do with it.

748
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 3: Had to do with it.

749
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 4: You know, these kids they gravitateds was anybody who gives

750
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 4: me the most money. So if you're a school that

751
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 4: has a lot of money, you do be successful. You

752
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 4: get really good play that you know in the past

753
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 4: you might not have been able to get.

754
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: It also cares because you got got Alabama in the

755
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 3: first round.

756
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: There.

757
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 3: Alabama famously high scoring team. They are going to be

758
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: without one of their better scorers there.

759
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 5: But your guys defense, I think it's top twenty nationally

760
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 5: when you get to tournaments like this, when you get

761
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 5: to this type of preparation, which one of those normally

762
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,479
Speaker 5: wins out because obviously in the NBA people talk NBA

763
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 5: defense wins championships.

764
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 4: Well, I hope it's they have a high paying offense.

765
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 4: They like to get up and down the part and

766
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 4: playing really fast like the ship the three. So hopefully

767
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 4: they're having an off night, you know, all day come Friday.

768
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: What's the thing you have to stop Alabama from doing?

769
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: In order to advance in this tournament.

770
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 4: Shooting the fretball. We gotta, we gotta, we got to

771
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 4: go down that temple because they like to play gamely fast,

772
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 4: so we gotta play at al tempo and not try

773
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 4: to beat them at their gains and then after that

774
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 4: keep them off the less because they're they're longer and

775
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 4: athletic than us. You know, we gotta hit them before

776
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 4: they hit us and then limit them to one shot.

777
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 6: Speedy. Is there anything that you have to do different

778
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 6: as a coach going into this game knowing that for

779
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 6: your team, for your players, this is the biggest game

780
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,400
