Uh, you know it is. If 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 2: you you think one hundred plus inches of snow and 10 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: just ray all the time, you to find that as miserable. 11 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: I mean, yes, I do. 12 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: I went to school in Winstern, Massachusetts, so I know, yeah, 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: you know. 14 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: I was just like I was always like, hey, you 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: know football, you watch it indoors. Who cares what the 16 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: weather is outside? But I didn't fully appreciate how terrible 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: it would be shoveling next to eighteen inches of snow 18 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: off my car every day every day. Right. 19 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: Chicago's a different kind of of cold. It doesn't snow 20 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: as much, but when that wind kicks in, it bites you. 21 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: It literally bites you if you're walking against the wind. 22 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: It's the worst type of cold. 23 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: But Syracuse is just endless snow and endless shoveling. 24 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 2: You're right, yeah, it's yeah. Chicago is colder. Syracuse is 25 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: way less convenient, Like just like getting anywhere in Syracuse. 26 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: It's like I have to go pick up Chipotle and 27 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 2: it's like I don't know, right, right, might never I 28 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 2: might never eat again, right Chicago, Grim and Barrett, you will, 29 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: But Syracuse it's just so terrible. It's like, oh, we're 30 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: gonna go to the bar, all right, put your boots on. 31 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: Can we cross country ski to the bar? Like it 32 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: was just it was ridiculous, but you would drink yourself warm. 33 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: It was a fun place to go to drink yourself warm. 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: Danny, did you ever imagine we'd arrive in a place 35 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: where I guess in a week span, the Syracuse head 36 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: coaching job was available, Jerry McNamara was hire. 37 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: We'll get your thoughts done that. 38 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: But now you have Carolina and potentially Kansas with job 39 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: openings in college basketball. 40 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: It's crazy, man, it is crazy. And as much as 41 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: I would love to talk about the Big three right there, 42 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: there's clearly the Big two and Syracuse. Yeah, but once 43 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: upon a time, I mean, come on, you know what, 44 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 2: Once upon a time, But like, I actually think this 45 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: is a pretty interesting thing. Like the schools. If you 46 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: don't have eight, ten, twelve, fifteen, twenty million bucks to 47 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 2: spend on your roster, yes every year, who cares? If 48 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 2: you won the national title in two thousand and three, 49 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: you're not recruiting off of like history and tradition anymore. 50 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: Like kids are playing for two, three, four teams in 51 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: there four years of college now, like it's they're going 52 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: through the biggest paycheck, which I know you respect, of course, yeah, 53 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: who doesn't, right, But like Syracuse wanted to hire the 54 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 2: dude who got the Providence job, and Providence had more 55 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,399 Speaker 2: money for him, right you know, So like Syracuse has 56 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: not stepped up in an nil world to spend that 57 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: kind of money. Now North Carolina does, and Kansas seems too, 58 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: and so you know theyre but like so does Texas Tech. 59 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 2: Like Texas Tech basketball is a better job than Syracuse basketball. 60 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. 61 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: It really, it's it's it's it's stunning to be honest 62 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: with you, Yes. 63 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, but but it's objectively true. Like like in the incause, 64 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: who cares, Like, oh, you can play in front of 65 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: thirty thousand people in the Carrier Dome to watch a 66 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 2: fifteen win team, Like you know, it just it doesn't 67 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter anymore. And like I don't say this 68 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: with like joy, but until my alma mater figures out 69 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: a way to compete monetarily in an NIL world, Like 70 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: they're not a powerhouse program anymore. It's it's sad, but 71 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: it's it's just the it's the new world order BYU 72 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: seems to spend more money, yes NIL basketball than Syracuse 73 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: does right now. 74 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: So it's just it's not a big job. No, you 75 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: have me a providence. I mean, like, so people are like, are. 76 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 2: You excited about Jerry McNamara, It's like, well, like yeah, 77 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 2: in a vacuum for nostalgia, right, he hit six threes 78 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: in the first half of the final game against Kansas 79 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: with mellow. Then he had that biggiesst Tournament run his 80 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: senior year where he hit the game winners, and like 81 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: that was my freshman year. So like, I love Gmac, 82 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 2: Like I've interviewed him a bunch, Like we've interacted a 83 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 2: few times when I worked there. Like, yeah, it's great, 84 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: but nostalgia's only gonna get you so far if you 85 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: have millions of dollars to spend on players, and I 86 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: don't think that he does. 87 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: It's interesting because kids are no longer looking at Syracuse 88 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: and thinking Jim Beheim, thinking the Carrier Dome, thinking oh, 89 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: Derek Coleman played there, Oh, Billy Owen's played there. Oh 90 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony played there. It's just where and who is 91 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: going to pay me the most money? And by the way, 92 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: and I had this conversation with an uber driver last night, 93 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: because you know, that's what you do when you're in 94 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: an uber at eleven thirty headed the Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 95 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: boots on the ground to get to the bottom of 96 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: what's going on with Youubert Davis, and this uber driver 97 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: is blessed in all these eighteen, nineteen twenty year old 98 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: kids for just going from. 99 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: School to school. School hopping is. 100 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: What he called it, school hopping because they want the money. 101 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 2: And I said, hey, imagine if. 102 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: You were eighteen and you could grab that kind of money, 103 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: money that could change your life, and you're not certain 104 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: you're going to make it to the NBA, to the 105 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: next level, you would grab all that money. And the 106 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: uber driver hit his brakes and he turned around to 107 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: me and he said, you know what, You're right. If 108 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: I were eighteen, I would grab all that money. How 109 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: about that Danny. 110 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 2: Reach one Teach one. You changed one person's opinion and 111 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: you were like, imagine it was you, And they're like, 112 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: oh my god, I had never considered illuminating. Right, It's 113 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 2: like a light went off. Yeah, like the most basic 114 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: form of persuasion, put yourself in someone else's shoes. I 115 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: never fucked you do that. But you know Uber drives. 116 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: Uber drivers have conviction. 117 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: I mean they're driving around, They're thinking about this ship 118 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: all day, They're talking about it with every customer. It 119 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: is hard to change an Uber driver's mind. 120 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: No, you did a public service, you absolutely did. Yeah, 121 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: And like I do think that there is an argument 122 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: of like is it like it's obviously in their best 123 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: interest monetarily, but would it be better to for just 124 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 2: like the friends you make in college, right, like the 125 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 2: college experience. Yes, who have the same coach, the same teammates, 126 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 2: the same friends, the same people, you know what I mean? 127 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: Like that is something that these kids are getting robbed of. Right, 128 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 2: go to Florida Atlantic and then you have a final 129 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: four run and you were making seventy five grand, and 130 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: then Michigan calls like, we want to pay you seven 131 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty grand, but you can FaceTime your old teammates, 132 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Yes, you're ain't gonna miss 133 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: them that much. Right, you had to miss them that much? 134 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 2: How good a friends could you possibly? It's been in 135 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: one year, Like you're gonna You're gonna figure it out. 136 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: You could buy a nice coach if you have to 137 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 2: Florida Like it's it's it's the money's crazy. It is crazy. 138 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: But coaches have been able to do that for years, 139 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: and now the players could do it, So I'm good 140 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: with that. 141 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's right. Yeah, where do you come out on 142 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: the unintended consequence of Like we like Texas is the 143 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: lowest seed remaining in the tournaments. We can't call them Cinderella. 144 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: I won't call them Cinderella. Absolutely not No mean either, 145 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 2: Like it's the richest athletic department in the country. You 146 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: don't get to be Cinderella like Iowa, Iowa, unbelievably like 147 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: cool human interest story the dude who hits the game 148 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: winning shot to beat Florida from Spane. His father passed away. 149 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 2: He runs into his mom's arms. She hadn't seen him 150 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 2: play in the US and years classic March Madness story. Yes, 151 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: but that's not Cinderella. You come from the Big ten. 152 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: You're no you know, And so I do think like 153 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: the wealth inequality gap in America is growing, like the 154 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: wealth inequality gap in college sports is growing. Where like 155 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 2: Thursday and Friday the tournament, these games were just twenty thirty, 156 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: forty point blowouts. Cinderella has no shot anymore. Because the 157 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 2: way that Cinderella would work was, Oh, I'm gonna stay 158 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 2: at Loyola or Florida Atlantic or George Mason for three 159 00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 2: or four years, great chemistry, and then we'll snipe off 160 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 2: a team of one and done's who are eighteen or 161 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: nineteen years old. Like I honestly think it's done. Like 162 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: I don't see a world where mid major double digit 163 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 2: seed can win again. I really don't. 164 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. You brought up Loyola, Hank Gathers, 165 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: Bo Kimball. They come to mind. If they existed today, 166 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: Loyola cannot exist today. This is a team that I 167 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: think went on a run to the Elite eight, maybe 168 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: the Final four, I'm not sure, but they cannot exist 169 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: today because Hank Gathers ends up at North Carolina or Kansas, 170 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: you know, yeah. 171 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: And like immediately, it's not even after freshman year, yes, yeah, 172 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 2: after his freshman year. Because these programs not only do 173 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: they have coaches, they have general managers, right, They literally 174 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 2: have people whose job it is is to scout other 175 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 2: teams and know how much money these kids are making 176 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 2: and be like, oh, we can make them an offer 177 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: we can't refuse. So you're not even gonna get two 178 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 2: years at these schools. Like the second you pop, you're 179 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: gonna get plucked with undeniable money, which, like I am 180 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: four players getting paid, right, This is a what I 181 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 2: would say, unintended consequence. Some people would say it was 182 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 2: intended and they knew it was coming, but like, it's 183 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 2: just a thing that we have to change, Like March 184 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: Madness is going to be fundamentally different for forever. 185 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: So I'm kind of okay with that from the standpoint 186 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: of I love Cinderellos. 187 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 2: I love the upsets. 188 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: The first you know, the first two days, four days 189 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: of the tournament, you had a couple with VCU over 190 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: in North Carolina, but you didn't have a lot. I'm 191 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: okay with that, because I like Cinderella's right up until 192 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: they interrupt my final four, Like I want big brands 193 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: in the final four, and so I'm kind of okay 194 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: where with where college basketball is headed from that regard. 195 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, they these games just need to deliver, yes, you know, 196 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: like if we're going to get a ton of blowouts 197 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 2: early and then we get Hurley v. Is A Patino v. Shire, 198 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: you know, Darius Acuff and Calipari going to get a 199 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 2: chance to go through you know, Arizona, Like that's great, 200 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: and like the storylines for this Houston Illinois should be 201 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 2: an incredible game, Like the storylines for the Sweet sixteen 202 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: and Elite eight are amazing and instead of David v. Glyth, 203 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: you get Goliath v. Glithe and like I'm here for it, right, 204 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: But now the games need to deliver, yes, you know, 205 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: like we because I do think like the best part 206 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 2: of the tournament was sixty four going down to sixteen 207 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 2: over four days, Yes, right, like forty eight single elimination 208 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: games in four days. Now sixteen to four right, Yeah, 209 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: it's just a small number of games, yes, standalone. So 210 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: like like if there's a blowout in the noon window 211 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 2: on Thursday, there's three other games going on. Yes, now, 212 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 2: when we're in like single television windows of games, if 213 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 2: there's a blowout, it is going to impact how much 214 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: people like stay locked into the product. So like these 215 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 2: games just need to deliver. 216 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 3: Yes, Dany, is it strange that Duke being the number 217 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: one overall seed seems to be the one seed remaining 218 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 3: that people should trust the least. 219 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Uh, it's they were a down double 220 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: digits to Siena in the second half. They were tied 221 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: with TCU with fourteen minutes left in the second half 222 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 2: of their round of thirty two game. You know, they 223 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 2: got the one guy back from an injury, they got 224 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: another guy out. Uh, it's definitely, it's definitely. They definitely 225 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: have looked the most vulnerable of the one seeds except 226 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: for Florida who lost. You know, they were like number 227 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: one overall and now you'd say maybe their third overall 228 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 2: because Michigan and Arizona won more comfortably. But they're also 229 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 2: more injured than Michigan or Arizona. So you know, we 230 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 2: will forget very quickly about Duke having some turbulence in 231 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: their opening weekend. If they just like Blitz Patina, Like 232 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: they could blitz the two big East teams, right, Like 233 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: if they just go if they go through Patino and 234 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: Hurley Saint Johnson, n No one's gonna remember that. Jerry McNamara, 235 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: Syracuse coach, gave him a run in the round four. 236 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: That bracket, the East bracket, the Sweet sixteen, Elite eight. 237 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 2: That feels like a final four. Man, that is some 238 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: good stuff right there. Yes, yeah, yeah, it's great. We 239 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 2: we did it on the show before the tournament. There 240 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 2: were more final fours among the coaches in the East region. 241 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: I think it was twenty one than final fours of 242 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 2: the other three. Reasons about like it was crazy crazy, Yes, 243 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 2: yes it was not. And I mean what about Saint John's, 244 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 2: Like because Saint John's got Kansas in the round of 245 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 2: thirty two, they could go Kansas Duke, Yes, Michigan State 246 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 2: or Yukon get to the final four. 247 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: Two games away from a national championship, right yeah. 248 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like having to go through self, Shier and either 249 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 2: Izzo or Hurley to then make the final four is 250 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: a ridiculous path. 251 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 3: For Saint john It is Danny, where are you at 252 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 3: with Rick Pattino? Because I've maintained that he's won me over. 253 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 3: I can listen to Rick Patina hold court all day 254 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 3: and Stu has kind of been on the other side 255 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: of that, holding strong of he still doesn't like Rick Patina. 256 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: No, listen, I want Saint John's to have success. I 257 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: grew up during that time where it was Luke carnosecond 258 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: Mully and Walter Berry and Willie Glass and Weddington and 259 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: they went to the Final four and those were great teams, 260 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: and I want Saint John's to get back to that. 261 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: I would just prefer they do it without Rick Patino. 262 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: But we are saddled with Rick Patino. And I keep 263 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: hearing this from guys like Taylor Danny. They don't realize 264 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: just how polarizing a guy Rick Patino has been his 265 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: entire career, and now he is everyone's favorite. Everyone wants 266 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: Patino coaching at their school. 267 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, wait, when you get into your seventies and 268 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 2: say anything and it becomes a little charming instead of 269 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: like back in the day it was like, yeah, it's squeezy. 270 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: Like he's gone from sleezy to old man charming and 271 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 2: it's a thing that we can all hope for in 272 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: our old age. And so yeah, like you know, there's 273 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: there's NBA Patino, There's Italian restaurant Patino, there's Kentucky Patino, 274 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 2: like there's all the things that we like, those of 275 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: us who have followed it closely. No, but guy could 276 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: coach man. Oh, he can coach Jesus Christ. Yes, like 277 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: like that stupid internet like of like, uh oh is 278 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: this like when there's a video of him yelling at 279 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 2: the player or whatever on the bench and they're like, 280 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: is this really the best way to coach? It's like 281 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: I think it is for him, Like I'm pretty dead forever, right, Yeah, 282 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. Uh but he could be the first 283 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 2: coach ever to take four programs to a final four. 284 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: I think how he's doing is working Bob Night, I 285 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: mean he'd be crushing it tonight. Yeah yeah, like would 286 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 2: I would? I love it for my kid Like no, 287 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 2: of course not. But like you know, a little elling 288 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: never heard anybody like he's not putting his hand on kids, 289 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 2: like Bob, you know, just a little verbal abuse, Yes, yes, 290 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: just a little bit. 291 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: Jerry McNamara, is he enough to get the Syracuse fan 292 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: base excited? Is he enough to get more money into 293 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: that program? There a nick right, contract away. I mean, 294 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: come on, let's tell Nick to start kicking in some cash. 295 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 2: Let's go. Yeah, he would say he donates to the 296 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 2: student radio station, and I would say that doesn't have 297 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 2: the same pizazz as a point guard. Yeah, and I 298 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: would tell him to prove it, right, Yeah, Oh yeah, 299 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: I've seen that. I can. I can vouch for the 300 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 2: Nick Wright studios that exist a w A R. He 301 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 2: wrote the check, but I but yeah, man, it's listen. 302 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 2: Nick is crushing it, and so he could. They would 303 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: definitely be thrilled to have him. But I think that 304 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 2: the gap between Syracuse and North Carolina is more than 305 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 2: a Nick right check. They need to spend a lot 306 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: of money because I got you know, I don't. I honestly, 307 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: I don't really donate money to buy Alma Matera. Like 308 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 2: you guys have billions of dollars in your endowment, Like 309 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: there's there are better causes than the Northeast Liberal Arts 310 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 2: School that you know that I spent like a couple 311 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: hundred grand from my journalism degree, Like you know, I 312 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 2: think there are better uses of my philanthropic budget. But 313 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: like Jerry McNamara did send an email to everybody for 314 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: like the forgiving Tuesday or whatever, and I was like, 315 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 2: it was a good email. I didn't donate a dime, 316 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 2: but it was. But it was a good email, so 317 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 2: some people will donate. I'm sure he did sell you, Danny. 318 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I gotta be honest, like I like, 319 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 2: you gotta have serious f you money to be able 320 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: to think of a number of things, like like you know, 321 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 2: world hunger, Like can't cancer research is being cut at 322 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 2: a federal level. Yes, you know, I would. You know, 323 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: I take five percent of my money that I made whatever, 324 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: And it's like that's why film oropic budget for the year. 325 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: My number one philanthropic cause is we got to get 326 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 2: a six to nine wings. We haven't had one since 327 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 2: the Key Warwick. Like, I don't know, man, I just 328 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 2: I can't. I can't someone else's problem, someone else's problem. 329 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 2: Like you got to have billions and then you got 330 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 2: to show me that you donated to a bunch of 331 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 2: other causes before I could be like, yeah, that was 332 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: worth your money. I just don't care that much, Danny. 333 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 3: According to a report from the Chicago Sun Times, there's 334 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 3: growing momentum that Bulls coach Billy Donovan could step away 335 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 3: from the job when this season concludes. Do you think 336 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 3: there could be smoked there with the unc opening. 337 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 2: So I think, listen, there's two things here. I don't 338 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 2: think people fully understand how poorly the Bulls are run. 339 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 2: Like they're run so poorly, like this is a historic 340 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 2: draft class. Everyone has known this is going to be 341 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: a historic draft class. It is seemingly better than everyone before. 342 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 2: Teams are outwardly tanking and flaunting the tanking rules, and 343 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 2: the Bulls were terrible. Everyone knew they were going to 344 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: be terrible, and then they waited until the trade deadline. 345 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: W'd be like, you know what, maybe we should tank, 346 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: and so they're just like tanking too late and they're 347 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 2: going to set up with the ninth pick or something. 348 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 2: So they're run remarkably poorly. But I would still say 349 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 2: they make so much money. They're number one in attendance 350 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: every year. It's such a global brandy. They did literally 351 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: this is not hyperple They did three different Derek Rose 352 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 2: bobblehead nights because they just sell nostalgia and they know 353 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: that it will pack the arena and be an above. 354 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 4: Face value ticket to coach the Bulls and make high 355 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 4: seven figures and live in Chicago with no real pressure 356 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,479 Speaker 4: from ownership to win because there's no real expectations as 357 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 4: long as they make money. 358 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 2: The Kentucky job was opened. The Kentucky job was open 359 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 2: two years ago, and Billy Donovan took his name out 360 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 2: of Punning almost immediately, Yes, because he was like, I 361 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 2: want to coach in the NBA. Like the NBA lifestyle 362 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: is just so much better that I'll be surprised if 363 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 2: he goes to North Carolina, but I definitely if he does. 364 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 2: I don't think it's like the North Carolina job is 365 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 2: so great. I think it's like the Bulls job has 366 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 2: gotten so hopeless. 367 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's a cushy job. As you mentioned, he 368 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: could sit there forever and still get paid. 369 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 2: But I think at some. 370 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: Point the competitor in Billy Donovan's like, hey, I want 371 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: to win. And if going back to where I had 372 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: the most success was in college, went back. 373 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 2: To back national championships. 374 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: The appeal of Carolina is still a very strong appeal 375 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: to a coach. 376 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I would I would think so also, But 377 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 2: he was he has way more ties to Kentucky than 378 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 2: he does Carolina, and here he didn't bite. Now again 379 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 2: two years have past, so maybe like he's more despondent 380 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 2: on the state of the Bulls over the last two years. 381 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 2: But if he didn't, if he didn't jump at Kentucky, 382 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 2: I don't know why I would predict that he jumps 383 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 2: at Carolina. And I don't you know, I've talked to 384 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 2: Billy Donovan in a couple of times, but I wouldn't 385 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 2: claim to know him. But I do wonder he didn't 386 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 2: want to stay in Oklahoma City because he hated the 387 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 2: idea of a rebuild and he leaves Oklahoma's Now he 388 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 2: gets a big city upgrade obviously, going from Oklahoma City 389 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 2: to Chicago. So like, great city to make eight million 390 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: bucks and I don't know what he makes whatever, make 391 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 2: a ton of money, unlike you who downgraded his city. 392 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 2: But go ahead, yeah, thank you. But like, but like 393 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 2: the idea I got to I got to pay raise, 394 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 2: Yeah I did. I did the nil thing. Of course, Yes, 395 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 2: I don't, yes, but but yeah it is. I wonder 396 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 2: if he watches the thunder and is just sick to 397 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 2: his stomach. It's the most well run organization in sports. 398 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: It's just the best organization. They tank for a couple 399 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 2: of years, like got Shay got Chet kind of like 400 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 2: perfect tank and right back to the like just best 401 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 2: GM awesome fans on the verge of a dynasty. But 402 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 2: he's got the bulls, He's got Matus Bozellis. It's not grave. 403 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 2: He picked the perfect name. Thank you well, because people 404 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: in Chicago people are like, we got Connor Bedard for 405 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 2: the Blackhawks, and Pete Crow Armstrong for the Cubs and 406 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams for the for the Bears, like and we've 407 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 2: got and it's like it's like a big three, like 408 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 2: all guys who could be m vps and like faces 409 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 2: of the league.

He doesn't take himself too seriously. 516 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 2: I like Iron Eagle personally a lot. I think i'd 517 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 2: have to cut him. 518 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 3: Oh my, Danny, can you help me out here for 519 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: a second.

Uh. 525 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 6: He went to. 526 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 2: If Stu is going to be biased to friends of 527 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 2: the show, I will be biased to my best friend. 528 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 2: I was the best man in his wedding. Nick, Right, 529 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 2: I believe he's the number one sports media personality going 530 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 2: right now in the commentary space. I think he would 531 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: be the number one pick for smarts and entertainment. 532 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: He's wonderful. He's great, he really is, And I agree 533 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: with everything you just said. I would cut him though. 534 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's totally fair. That's totally fair. So Nick. 535 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 2: And then this is where it's really tough. 536 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 5: To me. 537 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 2: The next two names are Mike Turco and Jason Bemetti 538 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 2: And to Rico, listen to Tarico, is is him going 539 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 2: from super Bowl to hosting Olympics to NBA play by play? 540 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 3: Like? 541 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 2: But to me, Bennette's just like the younger version. 542 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: Yes, now, de Rico is finally getting the praise that 543 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: he's deserved for a long ball time. 544 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 2: He's a great broadcaster, He's an incredible broadcaster, and the 545 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 2: ability to do studio hosting and play by play. Yes, 546 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 2: is just it's a very difficult thing. Like to me, 547 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 2: Bennetti is the most versatile play by play guy right now. 548 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: Like Bennetti filled in for Brian Anderson when he got SICKA. 549 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 2: Tournament TV. Great job does NCAA Tournament Radio does NFL TV? 550 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 2: Does College Basketball TV? Voice of Baseball on NBC Now, 551 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 2: Voice of Baseball on NBC, Voice of the Tigers man Benetti. 552 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 2: Benetti probably does more games than anybody like he, like 553 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: Kim Kenny Albert like, he probably does two hundred and 554 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: twenty sporting events a year, I would guess yea. And 555 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 2: his personal story is obviously amazing. He is a mention 556 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 2: of a human being and a close personal friend. Uh 557 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 2: so I would be biased, and I would say Bennetti. 558 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 2: But Tarico, Tarico calling the Super Bowl and hosting the 559 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 2: Olympics within twenty four hours not bad, A pretty indisputable case. Yes, yeah, 560 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 2: So so apologies to Tarico. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna 561 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 2: go buy, I'm gonna go Bennetti, Nick and Costas for 562 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 2: my big three. 563 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 6: But yeah, but but it's Taylor's vote right now. 564 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 2: All right, So I am keeping Iron Eagle.
