Speaker 1: Doing pretty well? Doing pretty well? Feel like we talked

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: to day ago, because we actually did.

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: Everybody's on vacation. You know, I'm a softie. I gave

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: Torres a couple of saturdays off. I gave Plank tonight off.

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: So you and me have to hold down the fort

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: for a while. You know what I mean, what do

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 2: you vacation? When you go on vacated because you're you're

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: within driving distance of a lot of places.

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we'll drive to uh to the beach

18
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: in Florida. Generally we'll go to like thirty eight or

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: something like that. That's kind of where people from here

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: end up somewhere down there White Sands, and it's great

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: to go to destin Florida. We went last year, and

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: of course now we have the newborn, so we're probably

23
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: not gonna do anything this year. But yeah, it's generally

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: just something like the beach, although I think, you know,

25
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: as our children get older, who want to start traveling

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more, maybe getting overseas and things like that.

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: Look, you, we definitely want to do that. How far

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: is it my car to the beach from where you're.

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: At It's eight hours something.

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: Oh geez, I can't do that. That's too far for me.

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: I can't be driving. I wanted to go down to

32
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 2: the Carolinas. It's so hard to fly from any place

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: outside of Vermont. You know, you have to take like

34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: two or three flights. It takes all day to get

35
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: out of here and and all day to get back

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: in here.

37
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: So I'm just I'm going down the Martha's Vineyard.

38
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: I think it might be a little too oiity toity

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: for me that you know, that doesn't sound like my

40
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: cup of tea, But it's my it's my wife's birthday,

41
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna I'm just going with the flow,

42
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

43
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Well, you know you don't have to live in Vermont.

44
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: There would be. There are other places you could live.

45
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean maybe you dig the ice cream. Yeah, I

46
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: used to. I used to be a really really big

47
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: fish music fan. And you know, obviously they're from Burlington

48
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: and in that area. But I mean, you know, Bernie

49
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: Sanders is there, you can leave.

50
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: You'd be surprised, you'd be surprised where they put you

51
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 2: when you do witness relocation. I'm telling you right now, right,

52
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to coming up in

53
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: about fifteen minutes from now. Mark Medda is gonna stop by.

54
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: Got a lot of NBA to get to. Todd Furman

55
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: an hour number two. Of course, the Seger also stops

56
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: by an hour number two. We'll give our picks coming

57
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: up in the Power hour of the show. Of course.

58
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: Always we love to use Twitter or x whatever you

59
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: want to call it. You can get a hold of

60
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: us at j Mart Radio. I'm of course at Stinking

61
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: Genius One. Get a lot of calls or a lot

62
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: of tweets in this slot, so we'll try to get

63
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: to some of them, Jason a little bit later on.

64
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: So try to keep up with everybody because they usually

65
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: send us a lot of tweets when a lot's going

66
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 2: on a few things are going on.

67
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you.

68
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: When we talked last night, and the first thing we

69
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: mentioned was about the NBA and the big you know

70
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: time between the end of the Eastern and Western Conference

71
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: Finals and the start of the NBA Finals. One team

72
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: had the way ten days, one team had the wait

73
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: seven days. We're talking about hasn't lost its loster? Has

74
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: it lost its.

75
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: Steam a little bit?

76
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: And yesterday I said, yeah, lost in steam, has lost

77
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 2: its loster. But I'm gonna deal with it now twenty

78
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 2: four hours later. Maybe it's because the first game usually

79
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: starts on a Sunday, or we usually get a you know,

80
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: an NBA Finals game, but a Sunday. We never go

81
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: through a Sunday without a game unless the Finals is done.

82
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: I'm really I was lost today. I'm like, gosh, man,

83
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: it feels like forever now and it was just twenty

84
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: four hours Jason. But when you miss a Sunday in

85
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: the rotation, it feels like you've missed a month of

86
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: action or something like that. I feel like I haven't

87
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: seen a basketball game in a month something.

88
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: It really is bad.

89
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't know.

90
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm overreacting because we were just on the air

91
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: unless did twenty four twenty four hours ago, but it

92
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: just feels now longer because here we are on Sunday night.

93
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: We got nothing. We had no no games, no Eastern

94
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: Western NBA Finals, we had nothing out there.

95
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: Jason, Yeah, I mean I can understand where you're coming from,

96
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: because I mean the NBA Finals usually start on a

97
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 1: Thursday or a Sunday, right, and just considering the lack

98
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: of a plus level kind of content for the vast

99
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: majority of sports fans, like you didn't have a huge

100
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: golf tournament, you didn't have like Marquete baseball matchups this

101
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: early in the season. Nothing really stands out like that.

102
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: And then of course you've got the College World Series,

103
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: and you've got what's happened with Super Regionals and everything

104
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: else in college baseball, and you've got the NHL Playoffs.

105
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: But generally it almost feels like a missed opportunity for

106
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: the NBA because you could have owned today.

107
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: Oh big time.

108
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: You completely could have owned it. You could have owned

109
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: the lead up to it, you could have put it

110
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: in primetime and there'd been nothing really to challenge it.

111
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: And instead we're waiting until Thursday, And it does feel

112
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: like this is a night you should have been playing

113
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: if you're the NBA, because the stage belonged to you.

114
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: We're still going to be there on Thursday, but it

115
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: is a long time off, and to miss a day

116
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: like this where the schedule felt awfully light outside of

117
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: what you were doing, that that just seems like that

118
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: was a missed opportunity.

119
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: You know, I think I brought this up to you yesterday.

120
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 2: There was a time where we said, if one of

121
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: the finals ended in a four game sweep, we're going

122
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: to start the finals on this day. If it goes

123
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: five or six or seven games, we're going to start

124
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: the finals on that day. Am I mis remembering that, Jason?

125
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: Or is that the way we used to do it?

126
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 2: And that way we always ensured that there wasn't such

127
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: a big laps. So the seger told us, just you know,

128
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: this is the second or third time something like this

129
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: this happens.

130
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I remember, I remember ranting about this on

131
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: an annual basis that it feels like forever between the

132
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: end of the conference finals and the start of the

133
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: Championship round, the actual NBA finals, because they set that

134
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: date in advance, and it doesn't matter how things are

135
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: playing out. Now what you're saying may have been true,

136
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: but at least in recent years, this is kind of

137
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: where they've gone. So you've got these nine day, ten day,

138
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: eleven day layoffs and because of the rhythm that you

139
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: get in and I imagine for the teams especially, and

140
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: I suggested to you last night, I felt like this

141
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: might really hurt Dallas because they've just been firing on

142
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: all cylinders and for them to then have to step away,

143
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: even if it does give them a chance to recharge

144
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: their batteries, I feel like that benefits the Celtics a

145
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: lot more than it does the Mavericks because of the

146
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: style of play. I feel like Boston can get back

147
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: up to speed and Dallas. Dallas has been going one

148
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty miles an hour and now they're in

149
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: pit lane, and so you hope that they're able to

150
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: get back out and not lose any positions on the

151
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: track because they come out rusty. This is not a

152
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: team in Boston that you can afford to do that against,

153
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: because they can really just coast that they can their

154
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: their level of play, their baseline is good enough to

155
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: hold you off because of their defense.

156
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: Now remember now, the first two games in Boston anyway,

157
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: all they're looking is for this split, not like you're

158
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: gonna It's not like you're just going to give up

159
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: on game one anyway, but you know you'll get up

160
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: the speed after the first what six minutes or maybe

161
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: the first quarter, and then you know you'll get your

162
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: legs on the you or something like that.

163
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,559
Speaker 3: My thing is this I again.

164
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: I maybe it's because of the long time time off

165
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: or something. Everybody's talking about how excited they are about

166
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: this matchup, and they're talking about Luca and Kyrie, talking

167
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: about Tatum and Jalen Brown.

168
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

169
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: Maybe it has to start for me to get into it.

170
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: I'm just not I'm ten years ago. This would have

171
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: been phenomenal twenty years ago anything with the Celtics into it.

172
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: It wouldn't make a difference who they were playing. I'm watching,

173
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I'm watching an hour before

174
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: I end, and we're rooting against the Celtics were rooting

175
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: against Boston.

176
00:07:59,480 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

177
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like it has that same feeling in

178
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, but everybody seems to be excited about it.

179
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm on the in the minority on this one, Jason.

180
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the matchup is pretty juicy. I

181
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: will say a lot of it. For me, the biggest

182
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: storyline is this is supposed to be Boston's time because

183
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: they've knocked on the door before. Here they are, they've

184
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: been in this situation. Now's the time where you take

185
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: that final step and you win. But is someone they

186
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: are going to spoil the party and stop them from

187
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: getting there? And if it happens, are they ever gonna

188
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: have another chance in Boston to do this again? Are

189
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: they ever going to have a better look at it

190
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: than they do right now? With teams in the East

191
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: getting a little bit better and everybody in the West

192
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: continuing to reload. If Dallas jumps that, like, Dallas is

193
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: not supposed to be here yet. This is not this.

194
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: This doesn't make sense really, everything that was not who

195
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: people had going into the postseason. This is supposed to

196
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: be Boston's time if you were just writing it from

197
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: like a logical, rational point of view. But sports isn't

198
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: logical irrational, and so you bring a Luca who's red

199
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: hot at the right time, just making incredible shots, difficult

200
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: shots impossible to guard, and then you've got Kyrie playing

201
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: at this kind of level, maybe Boston's not going to

202
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: have a time. So I do think that makes it interesting.

203
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: And the Celtics are just polarizing in general. It's like

204
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: you either like them or you don't. I don't think

205
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: most people are milk toast about them. However, there is

206
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: still that narrative out there, and Torres and I have

207
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: talked about this repeatedly. They do kind of bore me.

208
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: The Celtics kind of bore me.

209
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: Like they just Playedio Spurs.

210
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of kind of. I don't know what it is,

211
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: but they're just times when I'm not as enthused watching

212
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: them as I am.

213
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: A bunch of both teams in that shoots a lot

214
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: of three pointers. That's kind of surprising because that's what

215
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 2: people want nowadays, right, It's.

216
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: Not what I want. No, I still think it's way

217
00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: too much. Yeah, they shoot more and and they have

218
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: a but then they're the best three point shooting team

219
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: in the league. And so I mean, I understand why

220
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: you would shoot it, because the math would tell you

221
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: three is bigger than two. I mean, I was not

222
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: good in maths. While I'm sitting here talking to you tonight,

223
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: but I do understand three is a bigger number than two,

224
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: but I don't know, like exactly how to quantify it.

225
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: They don't do anything wrong. There's just not anything particularly

226
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: flashy about them in the way that some of these

227
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: other teams are. So I do think they don't have

228
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: maybe they have a little bit of Patriots in them,

229
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: because a lot of times the Patriots weren't flashy either.

230
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: You know how you think about Boston teams, they're just

231
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: kind of like a almost like a dull run. It's

232
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: almost like a dullness. It's not a sharp edged knife.

233
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: It's kind of a dull edged knife with the Celtics,

234
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: like a butter knife.

235
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: But by the way, if you want to get in,

236
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: like I said, Twitter, we'll use that later on J

237
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: Martin Radio. I'm its thinking genius one. You know, all

238
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: the storylines that we would have had about ten or

239
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: twenty years ago, I don't feel like we have this

240
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: time around. Like what we talked about is Ky yesterday

241
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: a little bit is he's still hated like he was.

242
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: I don't know whether the three, four, five year ago,

243
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: how about one year ago, one year ago? You're right

244
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: about that. My answer is no, he's he's not nearly

245
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 2: as hated as he was. And you say one year,

246
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: I'll go back to three. I think it was pretty

247
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: bad about two three years ago, that year in Brooklyn

248
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 2: or whatever it was. But he doesn't feel like you

249
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: still have that same hatred for Kyrie out there like

250
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: he did that those years ago.

251
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean I think that.

252
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: The reasons I say one year is because when he

253
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: got moved to when he went to Dallas, a lot

254
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: of people, maybe even me included, we're just kind of like,

255
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: can't wait to watch this blow up because this is

256
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: what Kyrie does. He kills teams. Why would you want

257
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: that guy? I think that's completely shifted. I love watching

258
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: him play because he's just doing the thing that we know.

259
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: He's one of the best to ever do, one of

260
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: the most talented, just purely talented basketball players you've ever

261
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: seen anybody's ever and he's right now completely bought in.

262
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: He is playing that leadership role and at the same

263
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: time he understands it's Luka Doncicic's team and he's not

264
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: trying to take it away from him. He's just doing

265
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: everything he can to help Luca win a championship and

266
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: by the same time win one himself. So I was

267
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: thinking about it again today, Arnie. I cannot recall in

268
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: team sports a comeback like this where you have seen

269
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: somebody completely turn around how he's perceived. Right, this redemption

270
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: arc is one of the best that I have ever seen,

271
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: and I am here for it.

272
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: Right And that's why I wanted to bring up hatred,

273
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: because we don't hate Kyrie as much as we did.

274
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: As you say last year, I'm saying two, three, four

275
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: years ago, which brings me to my next thing is

276
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: you know back in the eighties, which is I know

277
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: a million years ago, we used to hate the Boston Celtics.

278
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: I mean remember when they used to play the Lakers

279
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: that the crowd would be chanting a black Gala.

280
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: The rivaly was so much out there.

281
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: We still hate the Dallas Cowboys from the seventies, in

282
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: the eighties and the nineties all the way till now,

283
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: but we don't hate the Celtics like we did back then.

284
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: Why why why do we still hate the Cowboys but

285
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: we don't hate the Celtics like that anymore?

286
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: Uh?

287
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 3: Are or do we hate the Celtics like?

288
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that's no, I don't think it's even comparable. No,

289
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: the way you're saying, I certainly don't think that Boston,

290
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: the Celtics franchise now is looked at the way the

291
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys are. I think that maybe the biggest reason for

292
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: that is the Jerry Jones effect a little bit different

293
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: from Brad Stevens. But you also just again, what did

294
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: I say, they're kind of like a butter knife. Nobody's

295
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: ever gonna say that about Dallas. Dallas is never boring,

296
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: but you.

297
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: Never thought you'd say that about the Celtics, right, I

298
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: mean that's the Celtics. The Lakers teams like they're iconic

299
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: teams like that.

300
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: Jason, I mean I think that the Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett,

301
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: Ray Allen. I think they were hated, yes, because larn

302
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: Pierce was Paul Pierce was very much to take it

303
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: or leave it kind of player, and Guardnet could could

304
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: really wear out your wear out your emotions at some

305
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: point where you just had enough. Uh, These guys like

306
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: there's not really any reason to dislike Jason Tatum, There's

307
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: not any reason to dislike Jaylen Brown. There's not any reason.

308
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: Like what they do on the floor, they're history onics

309
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: anything like that, very muted. They're pretty just normal basketball

310
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: players that are really good. There's not and maybe that's

311
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: part of it, Like they don't have the tabloid factor

312
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: going outside of Jason Tatum being a little bit too

313
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: much Kobe worship earlier and Jaylen Brown saying some some

314
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: stuff off the court that I completely disagreed with and

315
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: a lot of the country disagreed with, but it was certainly,

316
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, his prerogative to to put that out there.

317
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: But generally, like, there's not those personalities don't exist on

318
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: this team. I mean even back like remember like Brian Scalabrini,

319
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: these guys, like they were just polarizing figures. There were

320
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: just people on the team that you either liked or

321
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: just couldn't stand to look at. And this Boston team

322
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: doesn't really have that, Like who's the most, who's the

323
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: most Who's the guy on the team that is the

324
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: easiest to dislike if you're not a Boston fan.

325
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: It used to be Mark Smart, but it used to

326
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: be Mark and Smart, but he's not on the team anymore.

327
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: So I could see people hating him before. But I

328
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: didn't say Boston team. I said Celtics. I was gonna

329
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: ask you, is the city of Boston still hated because

330
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 2: you know, it was that whole East coast West coast

331
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: thing with LA and Boston and the Red Sox, the Patriots,

332
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: the Bruins, you know, the Celtics. People hated everything about Boston,

333
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: you know.

334
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think the change is just they haven't

335
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: won anything in a while. It's hard to hate a

336
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: city when they don't have a bunch of champions, like

337
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: the Ruins have been good, but hockey is hockey, right,

338
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: The Celtics have knocked on the door and gotten beat

339
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: and so you've been able to jeer out them.

340
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 3: Are you forgetting about the Patriots long there?

341
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: As soon as Brady left the Patriots. The Patriots are

342
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: just a punching bag right right right, And so we'll

343
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: see what's gonna happen under Mayo's regime and starting things

344
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: over there. And then the Red Sox haven't been relevant

345
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: in a couple of years either. So you look at

346
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: all of that, there's not really any reason to hate

347
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: on Boston because they do it to themselves, like there's

348
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: not you have to be good to make me, I

349
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: think right now, they're not good enough. Their franchises are

350
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: not good enough across the board to bring that level

351
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: of vitriol out of people.

352
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: You know, Philly has a one all heck of a lot,

353
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: but we hate the Philly fans.

354
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: You know, we'll get it.

355
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,360

385
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: our NBA insider. Also, I guess we can call him

386
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: a talk show host. He was filling in this last weekend.

387
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: Our buddy, Mark Medena.

388
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 6: How you doing Mark, I'm doing well. Hey, just trying

389
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 6: to follow your guys.

390
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: Lady, big time.

391
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 3: Talk show hosts.

392
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: Tell you, first of all, covering the NBA, how much

393
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 2: of this is a nuisance to you with the long

394
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: like ten days rest and stuff. I mean, we know

395
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: that we feel like it's lost momentum as a fan

396
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: and as a viewer, But what about a guy that

397
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 2: actually covers the NBA.

398
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 3: What do you do with such a long layoff?

399
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 6: Well, I always just roll with the punches. Whether there's

400
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 6: too many games at once or too much going on,

401
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 6: you get through that, and then when there's a lull

402
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 6: in the action, you just try to chip away at

403
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 6: long term stuff. So you know, you mentioned the co

404
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 6: hosting yesterday, that's one of the examples of just trying

405
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 6: trying to fill the time and still be a value.

406
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: Mark matchups in seven game series it usually come down

407
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: to that. You look at Denver, they didn't match up

408
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: well with Minnesota at all and ended up not making it.

409
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: I think Denver probably would have beaten Dallas, but they

410
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: never had that opportunity. So looking at the matchup with

411
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: the Mavericks and the Celtics, who do you feel like

412
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: is in a better, more advantageous position.

413
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really fascinating because I personally think that Dallas

414
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 6: is in a better position because they've been playing better basketball.

415
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 6: And then the other thing is there's an unknown on

416
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 6: when or if Chris Porzingis is going to come back

417
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 6: in the series. But I did talk to a few

418
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 6: assistant coaches over the weekend and both of them favor

419
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 6: the Boston Celtics because they feel like even with or

420
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 6: without Porzingis, they have such great offensive chemistry right now

421
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 6: with Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, they have a deep supporting

422
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 6: cast of Drew Holliday and Derek White, and their defense

423
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 6: is exceptional that they feel like a it can overcome

424
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 6: any limitations up Worzingis will have, or if he's not

425
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 6: even in the lineup. And then secondly, they both downplayed

426
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 6: the concern that some have about, hey, Boston hasn't played

427
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 6: its best basketball, hasn't been challenged enough. They feel like,

428
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 6: you know, once start at the NBA Finals and they

429
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 6: play against the caliber opponent of Dallas, that they'll be

430
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 6: forced to elevate their game. But look, you can't discount

431
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 6: the fact that Luka Doctrich and Kyrie Irving have been

432
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 6: playing their best basketball ever in their career. Their chemistry

433
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 6: is really great and they have a great supporting cast.

434
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 6: So what I'm getting at here, guys is you can

435
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 6: really flip a coin for either team. But regardless, I

436
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 6: think it's going to go full seven games.

437
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if it was Dallas We're talking about

438
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: this earlier, if it was Dallas and Boston forty years ago,

439
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: then twenty years ago, compared to now twelve years ago.

440
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: I mean, can you imagine back in the like the

441
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 2: Larry Bird era, we have so much hatred for the Celtics,

442
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: we'd be like foaming at.

443
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 3: The mouth for this type of matchup.

444
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, it just feels like we just don't

445
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: hate this Celtics anymore. They don't have that hatred like

446
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 2: they did back in the eighties.

447
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 6: You know what I mean, Mark, Yeah, I mean back

448
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 6: in the eighties it was always Lakers Celtics. So now

449
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 6: it's been, you know, no repeat champions ever since the

450
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 6: Golden State Warriors dynasty with Kevin Durant. I think the

451
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 6: other thing is that while I think a lot of

452
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 6: the showtime Lakers and people within the Laker organization are

453
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 6: feeling a lot of angst that if the Celtics win

454
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 6: this upcoming finals that propels them to having the most

455
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 6: titles out of any NBA team over them. But really

456
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 6: I think it's just the showtime guys, Like I think

457
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 6: the current Lakers. Yes, they wish they could still be

458
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 6: in the hount, they still wish they could be winning

459
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 6: a championship, But I don't think the fact that the

460
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 6: Celics are in the finals, or the fact that they

461
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 6: could exceed them in the organization ring count total really

462
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 6: resonates among the current players.

463
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: Mark, do you feel like at all kind of watching this?

464
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: It didn't I didn't see Dallas. I didn't see this

465
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: being the finals before it started. Do you think it's

466
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: fair to look at it and just say, man, it

467
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: feels like they jumped the line. They found their way

468
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: into the finals. And you look at Luka Doncic right

469
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: now and you're hearing people say he's the best player

470
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: in the world if they win the championship. Do you

471
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: think that's fair? Like, maybe there's two questions here, but

472
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: that Luca question sticks out big because I don't know

473
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: if I can get there, but right now he's certainly

474
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: the hottest player if nothing else.

475
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, An, I'll pack at one by one. As far

476
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 6: as whether the MAVs jumped the line, Yes, they jumped

477
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 6: the line. That's because they dramatically change their team with

478
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 6: the trade deadline. Yes, it starts as Luca and Kyrie,

479
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 6: but it also helps when they have a supporting cast

480
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 6: and PJ. Washington and Daniel gafferd have been game changers

481
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 6: for different reasons. PJ two way player on the wing,

482
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 6: Gafford Real give great defensive compliment to Derek Lively the second.

483
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 6: But I think to your broader point, even going to

484
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 6: the playoffs, I thought it could go either way with

485
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 6: Dallas and the Clippers. To his clear Kawhi Leonard wasn't

486
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 6: going to be one hundred percent. I favored Dallas, but

487
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 6: I still favored Oklahoma City in that second round matchup.

488
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 6: But once Dallas beat Oklahoma City, I thought all bets

489
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 6: are off. They could beat Minnesota and they've simply just

490
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 6: risen their game to another level. As to your second

491
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 6: question with Luka Doncic, yes, he is the best player

492
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 6: in the world right now. I thought that Nikole Jokish

493
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 6: was deserving of that MPP award. We have to keep

494
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 6: in mind that's a regular season award. In this playoffs,

495
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 6: Luka Doncic has been playing his absolute best, and I

496
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 6: think you can make an argument right now that Kyrie

497
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 6: Irving has been second. They've been that great, both individually

498
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 6: as well as a duo.

499
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: You know, Mark, you know, people say, oh, take away

500
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 2: in the Lakers championship, that was a bubble. That doesn't

501
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 2: get that's a bubble it come out. Yes, Well, can

502
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 2: we say the same thing about the Celtics? No, Butler, no, Donovan, Mitchell, Nohlliburton.

503
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: Can we say we look how easy it was for.

504
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: Them or what? No?

505
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 6: No, no, no. I mean look, part of the name

506
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 6: of the game is that sports and sports is that

507
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 6: injuries happen and you have to deal with the hand

508
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 6: that you're Dell. I'm not going to fault or penalize

509
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 6: or put an asterisk to a Celtics title just saying

510
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 6: that they had a relatively better path to the finals

511
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 6: than Dallas did because their opponents weren't fully one hundred percent.

512
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 6: What I think does bring some valid concerns, though, is

513
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:27,479
Speaker 6: because they didn't play teams at full strength, Boston hasn't

514
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 6: been fully challenged as much as Dallas, and will that

515
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 6: ultimately affect their play. I have question marks about it.

516
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 6: I know several other people do now. In fairness to

517
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 6: those two assistants that I mentioned, they downplayed that only

518
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 6: because they feel like, for better and for worse, the

519
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 6: Celtics play their game to their opponent, and because Dallas

520
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 6: is a better opponent, they'll elevate their game. But no,

521
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 6: to your original point, You can't penalize teams for facing

522
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 6: the teams in front of them. That's what you're supposed

523
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 6: to do.

524
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: So one more and well, you mentioned the team that's

525
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: not playing in right now. But I'm just going to

526
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: throw two words to you and let you talk because

527
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: I think there's a number of different places you can

528
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: go here. Bronnie James, what are your thoughts.

529
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 6: My thoughts are that he's going to be drafted by

530
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 6: the Lakers at number fifty five, But there's a few

531
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 6: things here. The Lakers aren't going to be trading up

532
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 6: in the draft just to get them higher in the

533
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 6: second round. I don't think and you guys might not

534
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 6: believe me here, but I don't think the Lakers are

535
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 6: making this move to play Kate Lebron James. Yes, it helps,

536
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 6: but it's a topping on a Sunday. It's not the

537
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 6: Sunday itself, because regardless of whether they pick Brownie or not,

538
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 6: I don't see Lebron James going anywhere. He's technically going

539
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 6: to be a free agent by opting out of his

540
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 6: current player option, but that's just to negotiate a longer

541
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 6: deal with the Lakers, and that's going to happen, So

542
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 6: Bronnie James, he's not a game changer. Some talent evaluators

543
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 6: think that he's improved his defense, he's improved his shooting,

544
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 6: but he's not elite in any of those categories or

545
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 6: really anything else. He's just a solid player. But again,

546
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 6: the Lakers had the fifty foot pick. There's not as

547
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 6: much risk with that because he's probably not going to

548
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 6: have a bigger role. Now, that's not going to say

549
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 6: there's not going to be issues. You're playing with your father.

550
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 6: That could could create a cool moment, but it could

551
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 6: also create some awkward locker room dynamics. But that's how

552
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 6: I see things play out with Brawny.

553
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 3: Mark Medeen everybody.

554
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: Of course, five sports radios NBA inside are also part

555
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 2: time talk show hosts now so we can Mark enjoy it.

556
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: My friend will certainly always love having you on. We'll

557
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 2: do it again as we get closer to those finals

558
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: in about a month or two from now.

559
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I appreciate you guys, if you don't mind me

560
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 6: giving a quick chatty late TJ. Seimer's unfortunately we lost

561
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 6: the former Alla Times calumnist. Great guy. Some people didn't

562
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 6: like him because of how abrasive.

563
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: He was.

564
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 6: Some people loved him because he wasn't afraid to ask

565
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 6: the tough questions. But hope he and his family can

566
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 6: get through tough time.

567
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely amen to that. Thank you, Mark, I certainly appreciate it.

568
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 6: I appreciate you.

569
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 2: I take care Mark Medina everybody. Of course, as a

570
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: matter of fact, let's see what's trending. We go to

571
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: our buddy, Steve the Sager, and Steve, that's exactly what

572
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: I was about to tell you.

573
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 3: Steve TJ.

574
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: Seimers, Yeah, passed away at the age of seventy three.

575
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 3: I put it back out on my Twitter. I don't

576
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 3: know if you heard that.

577
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 2: I was going to tell you earlier, but I'm like,

578
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: I'll just mention to you when you're doing the updates.

579
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: That was quite a surprise. I guess he was battling

580
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: a brain tumor. I guess, but I remember back in

581
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 2: the days when I was doing LA Radio, he was

582
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: right there, front and center of things, and.

583
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: Oh he was polarizing.

584
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 2: His articles was must read, Steve must read every time.

585
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 3: It was unbelievable.

586
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 7: He joined the La Times nineteen ninety. It was his

587
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 7: longtime editor Bill Dwyer that made the announcement tonight. If

588
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,239
Speaker 7: you can ever see I remember TJ. Simers in a

589
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 7: very positive light for the night he had when for

590
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 7: a charity he hosted an evening with John Wooden and

591
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 7: Vince Gully. Can you imagine an hour, hour and a

592
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 7: half of a round table with just those guys on

593
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 7: the stage. There is video of it out there. The

594
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 7: La Times had fired Simers about a decade ago, and

595
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 7: he sued the paper for age discrimination and.

596
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 3: Won a boatload of money.

597
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: And then Jay Simers I think was on the initial

598
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: around the horn Brough.

599
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, years well, yeah, they got rid of him

600
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 2: when he said he was embarrassed to be on the show, that.

601
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: He might not be wrong.

602
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 7: That is so appropriate that he would say something. By

603
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 7: the way, the guys that are not on our show

604
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 7: this weekend we mentioned Aaron Torres was off last night.

605
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 7: Mister yukon and busy for Oklahoma softball these days, so

606
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 7: Chris Blank not on tonight. Their baseball teams are playing

607
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 7: each other right now. Are Connecticut and Oklahoma are tied

608
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 7: in the NCAA Region three to three in the eighth inning.

609
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 7: If ok Ploma loses at home tonight, they are out

610
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 7: just for the.

611
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: Rector Pike will be really crabby.

612
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 7: Oklahoma softball is number two in the country defending champs.

613
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 7: They get Florida tomorrow. As Florida eliminated Alabama six to

614
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 7: four today and then Stanford eliminated UCLA three to one.

615
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 7: Stanford versus number one Texas tomorrow night. By the way,

616
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 7: as far as NCAA baseball, number one Tennessee one again

617
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 7: too advanced. It was hosting a regional this weekend. Oregon

618
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 7: State was hosting a regional this weekend, but due to rain,

619
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 7: their game against UC Irvine today was suspended in the

620
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 7: fourth inning. It will resume Monday at noon Pacific with

621
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 7: Oregon State. By the way, we did have a PAC

622
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 7: twelve matchup tonight with that Stanford beating UCLA, I assume

623
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 7: that's the last PAC twelve matchup. It's not a PAC

624
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 7: twelve sanctioned game. It wasn't the conference tournament that was

625
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 7: the national but interesting that we had that and they

626
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 7: won't be a conference opponents. Course, Stanford and call Or

627
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 7: going to acc UCLA, usc are going to Big ten

628
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 7: in the WNBA. Connecticut's eight and oh after winning easily

629
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 7: at Atlanta and at New York tonight, the Liberty seven

630
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 7: and two beat a two to nine Indiana Fever team

631
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 7: one four to sixty eight rookie Caitlin Clark one of

632
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 7: ten shooting from the floor. The NBA Finals don't start

633
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,040

634
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 7: night is Game two at Boston. The Stanley Cup Finals

635
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 7: starts Saturday, with Game two on Monday, the tenth. We

636
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 7: know the matchup now. Florida won the Eastern Conference last night.

637
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 7: Edmonton took the West Final in Game six tonight, eliminating

638
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 7: top seed Dallas two to one, even though the Oilers

639
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 7: were out shot thirty five to ten ten shots and

640
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 7: still winning a playoffs ties a.

641
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: Record that's insane.

642
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 7: It is insane, man, much less a clinching game with

643
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 7: only ten shots at home and.

644
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 3: Mike he could play faced shot.

645
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 7: Maybe they maybe they wouldn't have won two to one.

646
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 7: Robert McIntyre won the Canadian Opened by one stroke with

647
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 7: his dad as his caddy in an emergency this weekend.

648
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 7: What a story.

649
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 2: What do you know not to bring is what happened

650
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,239
Speaker 2: to the golfer? That is, caddy got hurt. So some

651
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: guy from the from the.

652
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 7: Gowris that was also, yes.

653
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not just was like big husky guy.

654
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 7: I did see the article, just the photo of the

655
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 7: guy they cut to filling. It's kind of like one

656
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 7: of those stories where they don't have a backup goalie, right,

657
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 7: And so that has happened where somebody who's not on

658
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 7: an NHL roster gets to actually get in a NHL game.

659

662
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 7: are in London against the Mets. The Mets did you

663
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 7: know a typical Mets thing that they've been doing for

664
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 7: a few weeks now, giving up a homer in the

665
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 7: nines to lose five to four to Arizona. Kansas City

666
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 7: with three runs bottom of the ninth beat the Padres

667
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 7: four to three, and the Yankees had four runs top

668
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,560

Speaker 7: shut out Colorado four Nathan back to you.

672
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, so Steve appreciate that live at the

673
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 2: tyrack dot com studios. Of course, Jason Martin did for

674
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: Chris Plan, Camartie Spanier, t J.

675
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 3: Simmons.

676
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: I just wanted to say that finishing that up. Look,

677
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: he really did rub people the wrong way. But his articles,

678
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, must read. I was in LA when

679
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 2: he was like a big figure here. It was just,

680
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: you know, he was just very polarizing, and I thought

681
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: he was a good guy. I don't think I've ever

682
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: had any problems with him or he mixes with him,

683
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: but certainly some people did. But he I'm surprised you

684
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 2: ever heard of him, Jason, because you were not an

685
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 2: LA guy, you know.

686
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: No. But again, I mean I certainly remember around the

687
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: Horn because.

688
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: I was, oh, that's right, PTI honk.

689
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: But past that, when you're in sports media long enough,

690
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: you get to know some of this stuff, and you

691
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: talk to people and you find out things about history.

692
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: So there's his names that you hear, J. Marriotti and

693
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and the guys that were on TV of course,

694
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,959
Speaker 1: but also some of the other guys and Symer's because

695
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: he had this aura about him and there was such

696
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: a love it or hate it kind of thing. I

697
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: heard a lot about him as a matter of fact,

698
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: and you know, I remember that when Steve mentioned I

699
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: remember the lawsuit. I remember him being fired in the

700
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: age discrimination lawsuit and then reading like comments from people

701
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: he's getting what he deserves, what a scumbag, like all

702
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: sorts of stuff like, I mean, people came for his neck, right,

703
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: But I think he's kind of a bit of a

704
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: dying breed. Love him or hate him, like, you just

705
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: don't get that in media anymore, especially in print media.

706
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: Everybody has these relationships with various people, and as such

707
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: you can tell reading the article, you know who they're

708
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: in favor of who they're not, and also maybe who

709
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: they talk to and who they don't and things like that.

710
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you get more information now, but some of that

711
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: personality on the page, it just it just doesn't exist

712
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: the same way. That's some great writers now, but it's

713
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: just a different it's a different climate.

714
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: And I think he used to write about the media also,

715
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 2: did he not. I think he was probably did, yeah, well,

716
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 2: because he used to write an article and it would

717
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: be like little bits and pieces, you know, just like

718
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 2: different paragraphs and it could be about anything, it didn't

719
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 2: have to be all one topic. And he would just

720
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 2: sometimes take shots of people in the media also, So

721
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 2: that's why I always read, I'm like, oh, wait for

722
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: him to take a shot at me, you know what

723
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean, Jason, It's got to be coming soon.

724
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: So maybe during the break, I'm gonna look up Awful t. J.

725
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: Simer's college because I'm sure some people have some and

726
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: just see like some of the stuff that he was

727
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: writing really back in his heyday when he was firing

728
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: on all cylinders.

729
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 2: All right, when we come back, though, you know, we

730
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 2: talk so much about the game and the NBA and

731
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 2: stuff like that. What about the pregame? What's gonna happen

732
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: with the TNT, what's gonna happen to Ernie and Shack?

733
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: It's so hard for me and Kenny really all right, well,

734
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear that. We'll get to that

735
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,760

741
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 2: Chris Planko Arnie Spaniel live at the Tirack dot Com

742
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 2: studios on this Sunday night. We talk so much about

743
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: the NBA and the games, Jason, But what about the

744
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 2: pregame show, the one that everybody loves. What's gonna happen

745
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: to Ernie and Charles and Kenny and Shack? Are they

746
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: all gonna be together again? Are they gonna go their

747
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: separate ways? Is the show just gonna be over and

748
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: they're not gonna do anything? Or are they gonna go

749
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 2: to Fox ESPN? Are you gonna miss the show? Or

750
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 2: are we gonna get over it? Are you you seem

751
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 2: you had seem to be bothered by this?

752
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: This is I care more about this? Do the finals.

753
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: I can't imagine the NBA without TNT, right, I can't

754
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: imagine it without Turner. I can't imagine it without the

755
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: greatest pregame and postgame show that's actually better than the

756
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: games ninety five percent of the time. I don't DVR

757
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: the NBA on Thursday nights, but I've had a standing

758
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: DVR of Inside the NBA on both T and T

759
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: and on NBA TV for over probably for over a decade.

760
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: And the reason why I do it on both is

761
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: because I might miss part games long on TNT and

762
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 1: I want to be able to watch the entire inside

763
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: d NBA, and so that's been the idea that that

764
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: show might not exist is incredible, especially when you watch

765
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: the ESPN broadcast, and with all due respect to everybody involved,

766
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 1: it's just not even close. It's not on the same level.

767
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: They rush through it, they have their takes. Steven A

768
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: is an acquired taste that I still haven't acquired, and

769
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: it just it's not the same, and you can The

770
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: thing is they can go do this for somebody else,

771
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: and maybe they would. You've heard Barkley say, you know,

772
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: I'm a free agent if we leave, and Barkley is

773
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: sort of still Barkley's the one indispensable piece, even though

774
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: I'm a big time Kenny Smith fan and have been forever,

775
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: and I I've grown to like shack More. I didn't

776
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: like him when he first came on. I didn't think

777
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: that he was as necessary as some people did, but

778
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed how he's grown with the show and become

779
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: one with it. I the problem is, if you don't

780
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: get Ernie, it's still not the same because Ernie is

781
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: the perfect guy that just kind of stands in the middle,

782
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: who can cut up when necessary but bring it back

783
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: when necessary. It's a unique talent that almost nobody has.

784
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: Just completely different, and he's not gonna leave because his

785
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: entire family was built at turns everything he's ever known

786
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: exists there.

787
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 3: And they're gonna have to split up.

788
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 2: I think if they want to continue, they're gonna have

789
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: to split up at least, I think.

790
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just I don't want to see that

791
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: without Ernie Johnson either. It's just not the same. And

792
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: Ernie will be doing baseball with TBS and he'll be

793
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: associated with everything that they're doing as he always has been.

794
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: But man, I'm a I'm as big an Ernie Johnson

795
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: junior fan as you will find, and just everything about

796
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: the guy, it's it's hard to knock him on anything

797
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: about his life and how he goes about it and

798
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: how he conducts himself, and how he loves people, and

799
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: how he has put these guys in a position over

800
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: and over again to just shine. And there's just not

801
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 1: going to be a replacement for him. So I don't

802
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: even want to talk about the idea that Warner would

803
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: let them go. But Zaslov and the guys associated over there,

804
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: they just seem to be hemorrhaging money left and right,

805
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: making all sorts of decisions, almost like they want to

806
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: bankrupt the thing so that they can sell it off.

807
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: And I will say this, they don't want to pay

808
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: as much for the NBA because and Disager can tell

809
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: us this when he comes on Next Hour, right, and

810
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: he has told us this many times in the past.

811
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: The ratings aren't that great, like they're not necessarily yet. Well, no,

812
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the games, the NBA itself, the games

813
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: on Thursday nights. Those ratings are not like Gangbusters. It

814
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: used to be. What do you know TNT for except

815
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: the NBA. Well I knew it for WCW and now

816
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: I know it for ADW. But they've had a few

817
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: original series and they've had some other things. They'll be

818
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: able to find other content. The NBA is not the

819
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: indispensable content that maybe it once was. And if somebody

820
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: wants to go overpay for it, then I can see

821
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: a company that's not doing particularly well, where Max has

822
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: sort of failed as a streaming service, Like there's just

823
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different factors that go into this particular.

824
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: The ardship point is just they can't look that we

825
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: cannot afford as a sports viewing public not to have

826
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: that group of guys doing what they do.

827
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 2: Can you still have the show on TNT, even though

828
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 2: TNT might not.

829
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 3: Have the NBA because like, no, you can't.

830
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 2: Well, ESPNA is like a pregame show, but they're not

831
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 2: carrying the NFL games at the one o'clock but they're

832
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,479
Speaker 2: doing a pregame show.

833
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're not a sports network though, Like I mean,

834
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: ESPN's a sports network and TNT is not. The thing

835
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: that I'm fascinated by is so much of NBA TV's

836
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: content and as Turner guys, it's all these same guys

837
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: that work for Turner. If they have their B team

838
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: guys that do the alt cast, they'll have Ernie, they'll

839
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: have Matt Winer, they'll have some of the guys that

840
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: have been associated with Turner for a long time because

841
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: of their partnership with the NBA. I don't what does

842
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: NBA TV become if all of that happens, Like there's

843
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: just a lot of things that need to be figured out.

844
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: But I'm just hoping that somehow we don't lose that show.

845
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: I cannot I cannot abide this at all.

846
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: All right, it was like losing the Sopranos our one

847
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 2: in the Bucks. Wow, that just flew on by Todd

848
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 2: Ferban not gonna join us. I gave him the day off.

849
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 2: So we're gonna plenty of time for your tweets. We're

850
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 2: gonna come back, get into the NBA. What are the

851
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: Lakers going to get a coach? If they do get

852
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick, does that mean they get lebron back? Does

853
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 2: that mean they get Bronny? All that coming up next year?

Speaker 2: I just learned that the last couple of months. But no,

874
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: I I don't get into the whole duck thing. I

875
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 2: I haven't pushed it that far yet so now, yeah,

876
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 2: not yet. But I do like my jeep, I'm gonna

877
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 2: get some big old tires for it. By the way,

878
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 2: you ever get you know when somebody says, what celebrity

879
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 2: do you look like?

880
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 3: Or something like that.

881
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 2: I used to get this, like probably more when I

882
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 2: had hair that I used to look like Kevin James,

883
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: the guy.

884
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: From King of Queens. I don't know.

885
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. You know, if you remember, obviously you

886
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 3: do the way.

887
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 1: You're allowed to do. I remember Kevin James.

888
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well the only reason I bring him up

889
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: one because people said I used to look like him too.

890
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 2: He's gonna play John Daily in the movie about John Daily.

891
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 3: I think that's that's a good that's a good setup. There.

892
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 2: I think he looks a little bit like Daily. I

893
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 2: think that kind of works out there, you know what

894
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 2: I mean.

895
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it works. And look, Kevin James is

896
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: he is I've always heard one of the nicest guys

897
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. Yeah, just a really down to earth guy

898
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: who's easy to root for. King of Queens and like

899
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff that he's done, just not

900
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: interested like Paul Blart, Mall Coop and some of that

901
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Like it's it's not my style, but

902
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: I do think that it's important to have, you know,

903
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: family friendly guys that aren't here, aren't out here doing

904
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 1: awful stuff all the time. So him playing John Daly,

905
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: if you like Kevin James, it's gonna be Kevin James

906
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: playing John Daily. Like. It's just that he has kind

907
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: of you know what Kevin James is gonna give you,

908
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: and he'll deliver it in spades. It'll probably it'll probably

909
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: be fairly entertaining. He'll certainly give it the best that

910
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: he can.

911
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, I mean, I'll go ahead and see it.

912
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to you know, I'm a little bit

913
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 2: into the Hollywood scene. This company that wants to sign

914
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 2: me wants to send me out for an audition for

915
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 2: the new movie or that's gonna be filmed called Dexter.

916
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've ever seen the TV show Dexter. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

917
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 2: So they want me to go out for that.

918
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: Are you serious?

919
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

920
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: To be what corpse?

921
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, Probably to get killed somewhere somewhere, gruesome.

922
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 2: I've done a bunch of movies and TV shows, so

923
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 2: I was thinking of getting back in it. You know,

924
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 2: I'm a pretty good looking guy, so uh, thinking about

925
00:43:58,680 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 2: doing something like that.

926
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna google you now because I've had a vision

927
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: of you for years. I'm pretty sure I remember how

928
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: you look.

929
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 3: But maybe I believe me.

930
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,640

962
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 2: I was voice of Chucky the stunt star. So the

963
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 2: easiest money ever made in my life chasing you know, seriously,

964
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding around. All I had to say was

965
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 2: like three words. All I had to do was go,

966
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 2: oh thanks, Star. I got five thousand dollars to do

967
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 2: the initial and then every time it was a national

968
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 2: commercial of course, like you mentioned Carls Junior Harty's, every

969
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 2: time it ran, I would get residual checks. So for

970
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 2: about six to eight months, I would get about two

971
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 2: hundred to two hundred and fifty checks from all these

972
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,720
Speaker 2: cities all over, and the checks would be anywhere between

973
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 2: like twenty five dollars and two hundred and fifty dollars.

974
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 2: And you're getting like a couple of hundred checks per month.

975
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 2: Think about that for a second. How great of a

976

1070
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 2: Simers passing away at the age of seventy three years old.

00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: Someone say, look up to TJ. Simers interview with Tommy Lesorta.

1072
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 2: Was that the one where he asked, is what did

1073
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 2: you think of Kingman's performance?

1074
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 3: Or was that somebody else to ask that question.

1075
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look that one up.

1076
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,279

1077
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 2: F bombs and goes crazy. I thought that was somebody else,

1078
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 2: but it could have been TJ. Simers, and mister nobody

1079
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 2: tweets him says, I can still hate the Celtics for

1080
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 2: the simple reason they've completely married themselves to analytics with

1081
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 2: all those three point shots. Of course, I hate Luca

1082
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 2: for being a cry baby. He wouldn't have lasted in

1083

1086
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 2: guys are kind of getting sick of it there. Uh, Jason,

1087
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 2: you're you're kind of like that kind of turns jof

1088
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 2: about the Celtics, you know, Yeah.

1089
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,439
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like I'm becoming a curmudgeon. It's

1090
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: just the three point shot is so every up and

1091
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: down in every basketball game college. It's just wrecked college

1092
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: basketball to me. And I think that it kind of

1093
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: peaked a few years ago when Villanova won the championship

1094
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: with U de Vincenzo and that team. It just felt

1095
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: like it was threes every time up and down the floor.

1096
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: And I used to love the three ball, and I

1097
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: used to try and shoot the three ball myself. But

1098
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: I just feel like there's no fundamental basketball being played

1099
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: when you're just moving the ball around as fast as

1100
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: possible to find somebody open, or you're just gonna take

1101
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: a shot from fifteen feet beyond the three point line

1102
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: and make it. It's just it's it's I kind of

1103
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: wish this. A lot of people will disagree with this,

1104
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: and probably rightfully so, but I kind of wish they'd

1105
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: e race the three point line entirely. Wow, you want

1106
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: to take the long shot, Go ahead and take the

1107
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: long shot, but you don't get a bonus for it anymore. Wow,

1108
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: just to see if that would encourage.

1109
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 2: Again, wasn't there a commercial Chicks dig the three ball?

1110
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 2: No wait wait, that was the long bob so well,

1111
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 2: but it's not the same thing though. Isn't that kind

1112
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 2: of like the same thing for the NBA.

1113
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: Because I think the NBA, the chicks would dig the

1114
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: slam dunk. I think the equivalent of the home run

1115
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 1: is a slam dunk, not the three point shot.

1116
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 7: It is, indeed the slam dunk.

1117
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 2: That's why I Harry getting in there. We're getting a

1118
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 2: lot of tweets out here.

1119
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 3: Alreadie.

1120
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 2: Jason wrote in the answer stick at Gunior gave for

1121
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 2: his wife's favorite food and favorite TV show makes me

1122
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 2: laugh still today. Jason Martin and Beth's reaction is must watch.

1123
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1124
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 2: They asked what her favorite TV show is and I

1125
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 2: said Law and Order, and my wife looked at me

1126
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 2: and goes, that's.

1127
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 3: Your favorite TV show.

1128
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,919
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right. I got them so bad.

1129
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 2: I don't know how, Yeah, I don't. I don't know

1130
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 2: how we won the round there, but yeah, I was.

1131
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 3: I was awful.

1132
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 2: I can't I can't repeat what I said when they said,

1133
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 2: what's the one thing about your wife that bothers you

1134
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 2: the most? And so I think I gave it inappropriate

1135
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 2: answer to that one. I probably the I'm surprised that

1136
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 2: I'm still married.

1137
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 3: About that, all right?

1138
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: Uh?

1139
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 2: And one other thing I want to get to before

1140
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 2: we get back to the to the games and something

1141
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 2: like that. I asked you, you know, you still said,

1142
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 2: you know, Celtic fans are Boston fans in general not

1143
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 2: hated anymore because they don't win. And I brought this

1144
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 2: up and our number one, but we still hate the

1145
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 2: Philly fans, right, we still hate the Cowboy fans, we

1146
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 2: hate the Dallas fans. So why don't we hate the

1147
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 2: Boston fans Becase it's not like the Dallas fans are winning,

1148
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 2: and it's certainly not like the Philly fans are winning.

1149
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I guess that's right. I think that

1150
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: makes sense.

1151
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 2: It's just that, you know, it's been so long for

1152
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 2: the Celtic that you know, we've kind of forgotten about

1153
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 2: that hatred.

1154
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: But they seem like they feel like it feels like

1155
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 1: we've been watching this team at this point in the year,

1156
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: like for a decade. We haven't been, but it seems

1157
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,919
Speaker 1: like this unit is right around this spot every year

1158
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: and we're just kind of waiting to see, are they

1159
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: finally going to break through and win it this year?

1160
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: And it hasn't really been that many times. But I

1161
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: feel like I've watched Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown play

1162
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: together for twenty years.

1163
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 2: You know who's not hated anymore? But he used to

1164
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 2: be hated and he's kind of involved in the finals?

1165
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 2: Is Mark Cuban right?

1166
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1167
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 2: It's because if he sold part of the team, or

1168
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 2: he's not as boisterous as or anymore, or he's not

1169
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,800
Speaker 2: writing the officials, or maybe he's just not so visible.

1170
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 2: I still think he is, though, Do we not hate

1171
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 2: Mark Cuban anymore? He's a likable guy now, you know?

1172
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: Well? I think I definitely think is what he used

1173
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: to do, like sort of the way that he conducted himself.

1174
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 1: He didn't need to do that more. Luca will do

1175
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 1: it for him. I think like the way he has

1176
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 1: kind of waded into other issues. I don't like him

1177
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: as much as I used to. I wasn't bothered by

1178
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: the way. I just thought he was a super fan

1179
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:18,760
Speaker 1: and owner and sometimes came across like a petulant child.

1180
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: But at the same time I thought he was good

1181
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: for sports, and I kind of still do. He's just

1182
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 1: kind of more in the background now he's not out

1183
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 1: on there's not really the stuff that he used to

1184
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: make news for. He just doesn't make news for anymore.

1185
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 2: All Right, A couple of things I wanted to get to.

1186
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 2: Everybody's asking what are the Lakers waiting for? We thought

1187
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 2: that JJ Redick was the front runner to get the

1188
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 2: head coaching job. Of course JJ redickin is going to

1189
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 2: be on the call of the finals. So I'm assuming

1190
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 2: that the Lakers are waiting to after the finals for

1191
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 2: it to be announced. I don't think it's going to

1192
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 2: be anybody else. A you think it's gonna be JJ

1193
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 2: Reddick too. Does that mean lebron comes with JJ Reddick

1194
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 2: and all this stuff of Lebron going to the Suns

1195
00:55:58,320 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 2: is just boloney?

1196
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 3: And three?

1197
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 2: Does that mean Bronny is going to be a member

1198
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 2: of the Lakers because Lebron is gonna bring him around?

1199
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 2: And is it gonna be a second round pick? Is

1200
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,280
Speaker 2: it going to be a free agency You tell.

1201
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 3: Me what you think about that whole thing.

1202
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,479
Speaker 1: Hmmm. I mean, are we doing that after the break?

1203
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,280
Speaker 3: We do it? No, you could do that, JJ Reddick.

1204
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 3: First of all, I just.

1205
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: Well Redick Reddick's claim to fame at this point. I mean,

1206
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: we know who he is as a player and certainly

1207
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: a smart guy. But when he started hosting the podcast

1208
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: with Lebron James and they're breaking down plays, and you've

1209
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: got articles being written that are fawning all over it

1210
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: and saying this is just like detail with Peyton Manning,

1211
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: detail with Kobe Bryant, all this, It's very obvious. At

1212
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: the time. I didn't realize it. But as soon as

1213
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 1: Darvin ham was officially let go and JJ Reddick's name

1214
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: popped up, it's like, oh, that's why he's been doing

1215
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: the podcast.

1216
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 3: Do you think with Lebron is that a beginning job

1217
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 3: being head coach.

1218
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: Of the LA Wait? Shouldn't it? Shouldn't be right? I

1219
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: mean the difference. I mean, Darbin Hammill was at least

1220
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: on the bench somewhere else, you know, like he was

1221
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: on he was a staff coach doing something else. JJ

1222
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: Reddick hadn't coached anywhere.

1223
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 2: But he knows basketball. Do you have to have coached

1224
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 2: anywhere else? I mean Guyard, Buddy.

1225
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 3: Doug Gottlieb.

1226
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 2: He's coaching in college, and I mean, I know he

1227
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 2: coached on a lower level like his kids or AAU,

1228
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 2: but you know he's gonna be a first time coach

1229
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 2: there too.

1230
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: He is, and we'll see how that goes. I mean,

1231
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: Gottlieb is a very smart basketball yt he is. The

1232
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: one thing we don't know is how he's gonna do right,

1233
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: And I think Doug would be the first one to

1234
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: say that. I mean, we haven't seen him coach a

1235
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: single game yet, so we don't know if it's gonna work.

1236
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, Spolstra is one of the

1237
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: best NBA coaches of all time. And Spolstra was a

1238
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: tape you know, film guy for the Miami Heat. Yes,

1239
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: he was way up, but I'd look at Reddick and

1240
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: what did Redick do? Reddick played, and then he started

1241
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: doing a podcast, and then he got hired by ESPN,

1242
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: and now he's gonna go coach the LA Lakers. Yeah,

1243
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: it does seem like we were talking about maybe Dallas

1244
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: felt like it feels like they're kind of cutting the

1245
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: line right now from their seed and what they're doing,

1246
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: and it's just outrageous to see them find their way

1247
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: all the way the NBA Finals. I mean, if he

1248
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: leaps straight to the head coach of the Lakers, I mean,

1249
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what it is. It's

1250
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: not that he won't be able to do the job,

1251
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: it's just it's kind of similar. Well, I don't know

1252
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: if that's fair. I was gonna say it's kind of

1253
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: similar to Bronnie because Bronnie doesn't have an NBA future

1254
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: outside of his dad, right, he's not at present time.

1255
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick really like, why would JJ Redick be in

1256
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: the in the running for the Lakers job? But then

1257
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: you hear what he's also high up in the running

1258
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: for the Charlotte job. So somebody else was looking at

1259
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: him as well, closer back to home where he played

1260
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: at Duke. But so certainly he's smart and he's got acumen.

1261
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: I just can't believe that's that's what you're gonna go.

1262
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,439
Speaker 3: With, that's what they're gonna go with, and that just.

1263
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: To me means Lebron James is calling all the shots exactly.

1264
00:58:58,680 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 3: And we'll get back into that.

1265
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about Lebron and Browny and also Todd

1266
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 2: Furman usually joins us next segment.

1267
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 3: He's not coming on today, so I.

1268
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 2: Always have a mystery Roman numeral with topics. I want

1269
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 2: to get a little college football and as I get

1270

Speaker 2: the big ten odds on the win the conference kind

1271
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 2: of interesting, so we'll go a little bit of that. Also,

1272
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 2: Thoroughbred Racing is a new independent regulator HAISA that is

1281
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 2: Jmartin Radio. I'm at Stinking Genius One. Like Jason said,

1282
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 2: Coach k is working as a consultant for the Lakers.

1283
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 2: Maybe that's part of the reason why Reddick is being considered.

1284
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 2: That just be a cherry on top, would it not be?

1285
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 2: I mean, Lebron doing the podcast where you. It's got

1286
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 2: to be the number one reason. Is it not there,

1287
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 2: Jason or what?

1288
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Lebron. Yeah, I mean, this is one hundred

1289
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: percent Lebron. And any time that he says anything otherwise,

1290
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: nobody's buying that.

1291
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 2: What's gonna happen the first time? What's gonna happen the

1292
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 2: first time? They Lebron has to yell at JJ Reddick

1293
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 2: or the other way around.

1294
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I mean, the fastest way to

1295
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: be unemployed is to coach Lebron James.

1296
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Amen to that. Amen to that.

1297
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: So I gotta I gotta read you this.

1298
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, go ahead, t J.

1299
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: Simmers. We talked about him earlier, of course, passing away.

1300
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: He did an interview with the big lead back in

1301
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: the day, and this was I guess probably around the time.

1302
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 3: J mack was still there, Jason McIntyre.

1303
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: So so he was let go and can from around

1304
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: the horn for saying critical stuff. We're talking to de

1305
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: Seger about that. Here's what he said in the interview

1306
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: about that this is just like it or hate it,

1307
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: you almost have to respect it. He says, I ripped

1308
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: around the horn like I ripped my boss wife CEO

1309
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: of our company, Dodgers, et cetera. I started ripping around

1310
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: the horn before it went on the air, ripping myself

1311
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: as much as anyone. So I get a call telling

1312
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: me I'm being taken off the show for a few

1313
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 1: days and if I stop ripping the show, I'll be

1314
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: back on. So I ripped the show the next day.

1315
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: Now I find it amusing to hear ESPN talking heads

1316
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 1: wondering whether Brian Gumbele should be fired from his NFL

1317
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: gig for his nasty, nasty remarks in regards to the NFL.

1318
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: You can rip anyone, and ESBN would prefer you did,

1319
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: so long as you don't rip them. And no no

1320
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 1: interest in going back under those conditions.

1321
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 2: Wow, no wonder they went ahead and fired of them.

1322
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 2: Why was he so mad at the show? I don't understand.

1323
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 2: And it's been on for such a long time. You know,

1324
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 2: they've gone through so many hosts. What was he so

1325
01:01:58,680 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 2: mad about.

1326
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: I was trying to find the Lesorda deal. Lesorta actually

1327
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: was one of his witnesses in the case on his side.

1328
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. And by the way, someone John

1329
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 2: tweeted and said it was Yankee pa announcer Paul Olden,

1330
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 2: who asked was sort of the famous question, what did

1331
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 2: you think of Kingman's performance?

1332
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 3: Dave Kingman? Of course, it hit three home runs that day, and.

1333
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 2: Lasorda just unleashed a some f bombs. I couldn't even

1334
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 2: tell you how many. I couldn't even come close to.

1335
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 2: Unless you have the edited version, you just can't play it.

1336
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 2: It's just that crazy out there.

1337
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: We're not Yeah, we're not gonna be able to do

1338
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: that on terrestrial national radio because I'd still like to

1339
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: be able to do this again next week.

1340
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 2: See, those were the days when you could do something

1341
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 2: like that, when you could. And yeah, when I said that, TJ.

1342
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 2: Simers used to write media columns. He'd go after some

1343
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:56,439
Speaker 2: of the media also too. He wasn't afraid to do that.

1344
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 2: Didn't say how much he got. I thought he got

1345
01:02:58,320 --> 01:02:59,959
Speaker 2: close to fifteen million.

1346
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: Dollars seven point oh. So I was off.

1347
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 3: I was off on that. Wow. Still good money, though,

1348
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 3: was it?

1349
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1350
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, not that yet. Not bad money when you could

1351
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 2: find it. I read that about the consultant about it.

1352
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 2: If it was coach k You know, of course, you

1353
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 2: know that Genie Bust, the owner of the Lakers, and

1354
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 2: I went to high school with Genie, so I should

1355
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 2: have asked Genie out.

1356
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 3: We could have gone the west Wood.

1357
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 2: I could said Genie, come on, let's go to a

1358
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 2: movie this weekend. Then we'll have dinner at the Taco

1359
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 2: Bell and then we'll go ahead and we'll go out.

1360
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 3: But you know, who knows.

1361
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 2: If she would have gone out with we probably fallen

1362
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 2: in love and I'd be part owner of the Lakers.

1363
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 3: Of course, she's married to j Moore right now.

1364
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 2: So but there was a guy in our high school

1365
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 2: who ended up coaching with Popovich for twenty years, became

1366
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 2: the shot doctor in the NBA now was an assistant

1367
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 2: for Oklahoma City and you saw what they did this year,

1368
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 2: Chip England.

1369
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 3: I don't think you.

1370
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 2: Guys probably know him, and he went to high school

1371
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 2: with us. Also, Genie should have went ahead and asked

1372
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 2: him for his you know, to be a consultant since

1373
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 2: we all went to high school together, and who should

1374
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 2: be the next coach When you worked for Popovich for

1375
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 2: twenty years, you probably know a lot of names out there.

1376
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 2: And of course, like I said, he's the shot doctor

1377
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 2: for all the guys he worked with Kawhi Leonard on

1378
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 2: how to shoot from the outside and stuff like that.

1379
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 2: We had a great shooting coach in high school, so

1380
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,479
Speaker 2: I felt that she made a mistake by not asking him.

1381
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 2: She definitely could have asked me, Jason Martin. You know

1382
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 2: I could have gone and give her some advice. You know,

1383
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 2: I could add some good advice for you know.

1384
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 3: That, my friend.

1385
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: Yes, mellow, you give horrible advice.

1386
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 3: For Did they run that commercial too many times?

1387
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: Or what one more is about? All I can take, like,

1388
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: I don't know where the suit where the suit ends

1389
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: and park begins.

1390
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 2: That seems like it's got to be running at every break,

1391
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 2: all right, I do. I do want to get to

1392
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 2: that college football subject. I want to get into the

1393
01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 2: CA Clark I. We'll get that coming up. We got

1394
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 2: the saga Jordguez at forty five past the hour. But

1395
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 2: before we get anything else, the saga walks right on in.

1396
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 3: Right now, we see what's trending.

1397
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 2: Everything is a final I believe in college baseball. So

1398
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 2: everything good to go, except for that one cancel eah

1399
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 2: of that one postponemam.

1400
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, you may have heard that. On Saturday, Dallas Baptists

1401
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 7: eliminated the Arizona Wildcats.

1402
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they lost Grand Canyon.

1403
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Wildcats lost in home in the opening

1404
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 7: the Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon just lost the late game

1405
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 7: eliminated by West Virginia tonight, so they advance Oregon. That's typical, Ernie,

1406
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 7: Oregon and Texas and each advance Virginia in k state.

1407
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 7: Plenty of others Number one Tennessee as well. By the way, Arnie,

1408
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 7: there are many reasons why Jeanie Buss would not have

1409
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 7: gone out with you.

1410
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 2: And she would have gone out. We would have seen

1411
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 2: Animal House, that was a new movie out the time.

1412
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 7: One of the reasons she would not have is that

1413
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 7: voice that you just used pretending to ask her.

1414
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 3: Out, Well, that's the voice I had.

1415
01:05:55,680 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 2: Backed it worked, Albarga Taco Bell was big then a

1416
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 2: Taco Bell and Westwood at the time.

1417
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 3: Everybody would hang out there.

1418
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 7: By the way, the TJ. Simer settlement was seven million,

1419
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 7: but the La Times appealed and then it got more

1420
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 7: than doubled.

1421
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, so I knew I was rioted. It was

1422
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 3: about fifteen million dollars. How great was that?

1423
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 7: And by the way, as far as the NBA ratings

1424
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 7: regular season, here in this postseason, the National TV NBA

1425
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 7: playoff ratings are at four point one million. That includes

1426
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 7: the Dallas series, which did pretty well six point seventy

1427
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 7: five million. The finals are going to do more than that.

1428
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 7: Regular season NBA one point six million viewers across TNTESPN,

1429
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 7: and ABC, and that's about five years running one point

1430
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 7: six million viewers. WNBA notes we talked about this story

1431
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 7: last night after the close game with Chicago and Indiana.

1432
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 7: Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky was fined one thousand

1433
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 7: dollars for failing to make her sale available to the

1434
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 7: media for interview US yesterday. In addition to Chicago organization

1435
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 7: has been fined five thousand dollars for failing to ensure

1436
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 7: that all players comply with media policies on the court.

1437
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 7: At New York tonight, the Liberty at seven and two

1438
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 7: beat the Indiana Fever a two to nine team one

1439
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 7: O four to sixty eight. Caitlin Clark was one of

1440
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 7: ten shooting from the floor from three point range one

1441
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,439
Speaker 7: of seven. She had three points yesterday and their one

1442
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 7: point win against Chicago. She had eleven points, eight rebounds,

1443
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 7: but six turnovers with six assists. With five turnovers and

1444
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 7: from three point range yesterday, Clark was two of nine.

1445
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 7: As for the NHL, the Stanley Cup Final is set.

1446
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 7: It begins at Florida on Saturday. Florida had won the

1447
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 7: Eastern Conference. Last night, Edmonton takes the West. Finally, I

1448
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 7: can't waste tonight two to one over one seed Dallas

1449
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 7: Edmonton on I.

1450
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 3: Love watching Gretzky anyway, so I'm happy.

1451
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 7: You know they've done.

1452
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 3: Check out Messy. This guy's pretty good.

1453
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 7: They've done precious little since about nineteen ninety so, in fact,

1454
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 7: haven't been in the final since two thousand and six.

1455
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 7: But how they got their winning tonight? We mentioned they

1456
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 7: were out shot thirty five to ten and still won

1457
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 7: the game for a finals clincher, A conference finals clincher.

1458
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 7: I should say it's the worst shot differential by any

1459
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,680
Speaker 7: winning team, getting out shot thirty five to ten and

1460
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 7: still advanced.

1461
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 3: I would have just fired shots from center to it

1462
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 3: that point.

1463
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 7: Anything, they were very much protecting the lead throughout it.

1464
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 7: It worked, so we've got an Oilers Panthers final. Those

1465
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 7: two have never met in the postseason. In fact, the

1466
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,759
Speaker 7: league says this is five straight years that the Stanley

1467
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 7: Cup Final is a matchup of franchises that have never

1468
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 7: met in the.

1469
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:43,799
Speaker 2: Postseason in between tiers. Seeing ratings going down the tubes

1470
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 2: for this one.

1471
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 7: Well, I think it's going to be more than the

1472
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 7: one point six million that the NBA got regular season,

1473
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 7: but it's not going to come close again to NBA post.

1474
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 3: If I'm right.

1475
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 2: Do they put in the Canadian audience for the ratings

1476
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:57,600
Speaker 2: or they're not.

1477
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:03,680
Speaker 7: Oh, you remember the Raptors. Raptors run NBA and there

1478
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 7: is no Toronto ratings. It's not a US media market.

1479
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't do that though, that's not fair.

1480
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 7: Meanwhile, we have the NBA Finals at some point in

1481
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 7: our lifetime coming along this week Thursday night, it's due

1482
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 7: to be the Celtics hosting the Mavericks in Game one.

1483
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 7: Next Sunday night is Game two at Boston. Dallas will

1484
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 7: be hosting games three and four, but that's not till

1485
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 7: June twelfth and fourteenth. Ooh, Wednesday and Friday of the

1486
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 7: next week. At College Softballs World Series, Florida and Stanford

1487
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 7: each one elimination games. Austin Sindric won the NASCAR race

1488
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 7: at Gateway in Illinois. This is five miles from the

1489
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 7: Gateway Arch Saint Louis, but it's on the other side

1490
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 7: of the Mississippi River. This race was on FS one

1491
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 7: today and Ryan Blaney was leading and ran out of

1492
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 7: gas late in the race. That allows Cindric to pass

1493
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 7: him for the victory, his first since Daytona two years ago.

1494
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 7: Fired It is an eighty five race drought that adds.

1495
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 7: Denny Hamlin finished second. Simone Biles won the US Gymnastics

1496
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:04,280

1497
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 7: Olympic trials are late this month. In Minnesota. The Sunday

1498
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 7: night ballgame went to the Cardinals in ten innings, five

1499
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 7: to four at Philadelphia. Nolan Gorman of the Cards a

1500
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 7: homer and three RBIs, and the Yankees have won five straight.

1501
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 7: They got four runs top of the ninth to win

1502
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 7: at San Francisco seven to five.

1503
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:21,719

1525
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 2: about to have an historic year here, a year that

1526
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 2: we've never seen before in our entire lives. I mean,

1527
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 2: this year is so historic. It's going to change the

1528
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:33,440
Speaker 2: landscaping of college football, not only because of the new conferences,

1529

Speaker 3: This is like historic.

1536
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 2: I thought you'd be counting down the days like on

01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 2: a calendar, marking an X until it's start college football season.

Speaker 1: Right right now, I'm excited about EA Sports College Football

1543
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,719
Speaker 1: twenty five it comes out of July, and I'm excited

1544
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 1: about the Phil Steel book coming out because that's kind

1545
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: of when college football feels like it's really here. I'm

1546
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 1: giving it time to breathe. I mean, we've got the

1547
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: NBA Finals right now. We've got that for a couple

1548
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 1: of weeks, then we can jump into this. It's early summer.

1549
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,760
Speaker 1: There's not anything to get that excited about yet. I'm

1550
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 1: gonna try and buy my time so I'm full of

1551
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 1: energy for week one. I'm maybe at Torres and I

1552
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: can't wait.

1553
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 2: Right Well, maybe I jumped the gun because I saw

1554
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 2: before the show today they put out the odds on

1555
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 2: winning the conferences. I pulled the odds on who's going

1556
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 2: to win the Big Ten? And guess who's number one?

1557
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 2: And it's not Ohio State, it's not Penn State, and

1558
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:54,639
Speaker 2: it's not Michigan. How do you like them apples?

1559
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 3: My friend?

1560
01:12:55,360 --> 01:13:00,680
Speaker 1: Interesting? It is the Oregon Ducks, the new kid on

1561
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 1: the Oregon team.

1562
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 2: Thirty seven point five percent chance. They're saying the Oregon

1563
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 2: Ducks will go ahead and win the Big Ten, and

1564
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 2: they're by far the favorites to win that conference. From

1565
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:20,759
Speaker 2: thirty seven point five in second place Ohio State twenty

1566
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:25,719
Speaker 2: five point seven, then Penn State twenty two point two,

1567
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 2: then Michigan all the way at seven percent. And this

1568
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:35,879
Speaker 2: is the part that got me USC two point nine percent,

1569
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:38,759
Speaker 2: and then all the way down at UCLA at.

1570
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 3: Zero point three percent.

1571
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 2: You don't even get a ticket for DUI at zero

1572
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:44,679
Speaker 2: point three percent?

1573
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 3: Or is it point oh three?

1574
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: Excuse eight? Right?

1575
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's point oh yeah.

1576
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:53,519
Speaker 2: Point eight eight point oh eight are the new teams

1577
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 2: except for Oregon obviously they're right up there. But USC

1578
01:13:56,760 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 2: at two point nine and UCLA at point three. I

1579
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 2: can't I can't wait to watch USC take on some

1580
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:04,599
Speaker 2: of these.

1581
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 3: Big Ten teams.

1582
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 2: I can't wait for UCLA and Michigan in some of

1583
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 2: those games. I'm just so pumped up for this, But

1584
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 2: I was surprised when I saw those odds.

1585
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: You know, well, yeah, I mean that's it's interesting, But

1586
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 1: if you really look at it, you lose Caleb Williams

1587
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,000
Speaker 1: USC last year. I mean, that defense was such.

1588
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 3: A debacle, horrible, absolutely.

1589
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 1: Just an embarrassment. And Lincoln Rowley's never been able to

1590
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: feeld one, not at Oklahoma, not at USC. You bring

1591
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 1: in somebody, maybe that's gonna change it, but we're gonna

1592
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 1: have to see that. And you're going from the Pac

1593
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 1: twelve to the Big Ten, where they're gonna try and

1594
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: run it down your throat a whole lot. You're gonna

1595
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 1: be going from playing in warm weather to playing in

1596
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, not warm weather. If you're USC, they're going

1597
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: into a different universe now. And two percent probably feels

1598
01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: about right because I know what they are because Kayleb

1599
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:06,799
Speaker 1: Williams was their team, right. I mean, that's a low number,

1600
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: but this is the breaks of joining the conference. You

1601
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:12,599
Speaker 1: see the highs when you're Oregon. Oregon's bringing a whole

1602
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 1: lot of that team back. Not everybody, of course, but

1603
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: a whole lot of that team is coming back. Lanning

1604
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 1: seems to really have that program firing on all cylinders.

1605
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: Ohio State has had an incredible last six to seven weeks.

1606
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: Whatever you think about Ryan Day, they're always going to

1607
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 1: be in the mix. Do you have Charon Moore in

1608
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 1: his first year at Michigan. But at the same time

1609
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 1: they lost a lot, so they I believe in Sharon Moore.

1610
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: I just don't know if they're going to have all

1611
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 1: the tools that they need in the toolbox to get

1612
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 1: the job done this season. Penn State, I'm never going

1613
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 1: to believe in as long as James Franklin is a coach,

1614
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:48,600
Speaker 1: just because.

1615
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 3: Well, third, they're predicted third.

1616
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 1: That's about what he is. He's about third, Like, that's

1617
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:56,839
Speaker 1: about what James Franklin is. James Franklin on Saturdays game days,

1618
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: that's not his best day. His best day is when

1619
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:01,719
Speaker 1: he's recruiting and doing the used car salesman deal inside

1620
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 1: of somebody's home.

1621
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 2: If we have time, I'll give you odds on other conferences.

1622
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,719
Speaker 2: When we get back, though, the saga will stop on bye.

1623
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 2: Get to some of the stories we haven't had a

1624
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 2: chance to talk about yet that's coming up next right

1625
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio. All right, we're live at

1626
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 2: tyreck dot com Studios Jason Martin and for Chris play

1627
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:19,560
Speaker 2: Cammarti Spaniard.

1628
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:23,760
Speaker 3: Why right here at Fox Sports Radio. What did we miss?

1629
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 2: Let's check in with our buddy Steve the Saga. See

1630
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 2: what's going on? What's up out there? To Sega?

1631
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 7: You mentioned USC football. Their opener this season is the

1632
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 7: Sunday night game that first weekend from Vegas, USC against LSU.

1633
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 3: But they tried to back out of that game. What

1634
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 3: was going on there?

1635
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 7: They can't back out of that game. They weren't in.

1636
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 3: They were trying to for a long time.

1637
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 7: Well they're in. It's USC LSU the first Sunday night.

1638
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 7: Most teams open that final weekend of August, including some

1639
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 7: Thursday night games. I haven't seen like blockbuster great opening matchups.

1640
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 7: It'll get better later. But yeah, there are a ton

1641
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 7: of games college football final weekend of August. As for

1642
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 7: the NHL, we've got a Stanley Cup Final that's Florida

1643
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 7: hosting Edmonton starting Saturday. There was a Sportsnet stat from

1644
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 7: Canada right after the Oilers clinch that this finals matchup

1645
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 7: a Miami team against Edmonton Alberta team. It's the longest

1646
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:24,639
Speaker 7: distance between two finalists ever in the NHL. And somebody,

1647
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 7: a college football writer immediately said, yeah, it's going to

1648
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 7: hold the record for longest distance between finalists until the

1649
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:33,719
Speaker 7: Big Ten football final is like Oregon Rutgers. So stay

1650
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 7: tuned on that.

1651
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 2: Well, always go with the goaltending Grand Fear, great goaltender

1652
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 2: goal with him.

1653
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, Grant Fear.

1654
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:43,639
Speaker 2: Nobody knows what I'm going to work with me, your people,

1655
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 2: I'm using my good stuff here on you guys.

1656
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 3: Olers, work with me a little bit here.

1657
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 7: What is an amazing story is that the Oilers are

1658
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 7: even here because they fired their coach early in the season.

1659
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 7: They had such a poor start. In fact, the Oilers

1660
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:04,600
Speaker 7: had started to a tent well technically two nine and

1661
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 7: one overtime loss, but let's say two to ten five

1662
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 7: points in the standings. That's now the fewest points in

1663
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:15,240
Speaker 7: the standings through twelve games in NHL history by any

1664
01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:17,160
Speaker 7: team that went on to play in the final.

1665
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:21,480
Speaker 2: That I like, Paul Coffee, that's nothing, nothing nothing.

1666
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 3: Did I give up? I give up? That's it. I'm

1667
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:24,839
Speaker 3: not gonna no more.

1668
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 7: Note my references. Okay, we have an update to a

1669
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 7: story we brought up last night from college baseball. This

1670
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 7: is the sound of the applause for the Birmingham Southern

1671
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 7: baseball team as they concluded their season today. Why are

1672
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 7: we talking Birmingham Southern baseball because they were in the

1673
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:48,640
Speaker 7: Division three World Series. Again. Why are we talking Birmingham

1674
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 7: Southern Baseball because the school as of Friday does not exist.

1675
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 7: It closed for good. It had been a college since

1676
01:18:57,040 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 7: the eighteen hundreds, but without state funding. They had announced

1677
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 7: a couple of months ago this is going to be

1678
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 7: our last year. So the school closes Friday. The baseball

1679
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:09,839
Speaker 7: team wins to stay alive on Saturday and then loses

1680
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 7: eleven to ten to Wisconsin.

1681
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:14,679
Speaker 2: Be a little bit of like, was it Jim Craig

1682
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 2: came from a school that was the longer route, was

1683
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 2: like Milton College or something like that.

1684
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:23,719
Speaker 7: Oh it was, Yeah, who is the quarterback with Dave Craig?

1685
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 7: You're talking? Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, it did not exist, and

1686
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:29,120
Speaker 7: I think he was still playing at the time in

1687
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 7: the NFL and his college did. Oh Jim Zorn, right,

1688
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 7: Jim Jim z Orn was I think played for Occidental

1689
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,520
Speaker 7: and they dropped football. But the college, of course, still existed.

1690
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:43,440
Speaker 7: What you're talking about, the actual school stopped existing exactly.

1691
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 3: All right too.

1692
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 2: If I appreciate that the Sega short segment two hours

1693
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 2: of the Books Power Hour next year on Fox Sports Radio,

1694
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 2: Oh I still I got a home what I literally

1699
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:14,280

1745
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 3: I'll get it out.

1746
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 2: I'll get our worthless producer to cut that part out

1747
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 2: of the show. SORRD so our boss doesn't hear that

1748
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 2: our boss is in a bad mood because.

1749
01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 3: All the Minnesota teams lost.

1750
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 2: When the Minnesota teams lose, he's always, you know, yelling

1751
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 2: at me.

1752
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 3: He just he's a bear.

1753
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 2: I mean, he's unbelievable, hard to work for when the

1754
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 2: Minnesota teams lose.

1755
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 3: Isn't that right, Jason or what?

1756
01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: I've never heard him, yeah, entire life.

1757
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:44,920
Speaker 3: He's not gonna say anything bad about the boss.

1758
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: Hey, they sent me something. I got it. I got it.

1759
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: Came a few days ago. They sent us some very

1760
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 1: nice things for our newborn. They didn't have to do that,

1761
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 1: but they sound like a hand embroidered blanket on it

1762
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 1: and a onesie with the logo and a bid with

1763
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 1: the logo, which was similar to what they did when

1764
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: Claire Grace was born. It's awesome, very that'll be a

1765
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 1: that'll be a post on X. At some point, we'll

1766
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 1: put her in those things when she's ready for him.

1767
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 1: She's a big one though. She actually got aided this week.

1768
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: She's eight weeks, she's fourteen and a half pounds.

1769
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,160
Speaker 3: Wow, she is a wow.

1770
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 2: Start start getting ready for her little w NBA stuff.

1771
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 1: She might be six feet tall. I mean, my wife's

1772
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:29,519
Speaker 1: almost six feet tall and I'm six two and a half.

1773
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:32,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, you're somewhat. That's more than an average

1774
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 2: for a guy. There's no doubt about that. So, by

1775
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 2: the way, speaking about the w NBA, look at that.

1776
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 2: Look at that transition from the saga and my producers

1777
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 2: the last segment to the way I transitioned to Caitlin

1778
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 2: Clark bad shooting Night one for ten. I think she

1779
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:52,640
Speaker 2: left the game early. Not a good performance. She is

1780
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:55,759
Speaker 2: having her struggles. She is putting up some good numbers,

1781
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,639
Speaker 2: but she's having her struggles in the w NBA.

1782
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, but let's let's let's let's stop right there. Go ahead,

1783
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 1: tell me real fast, like all right, So they lost

1784
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 1: by or they won by one on Saturday, Okay, and

1785
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 1: that I went. I actually went and watched the foul

1786
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 1: and that was as dirty as it gets. Knocking her

1787
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:16,759
Speaker 1: down just just ridiculous. She had her ear was bothering

1788
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:20,000
Speaker 1: her or something on Sunday. But this is the big thing.

1789
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 1: They played a back to back. They played on Saturday

1790
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,679
Speaker 1: and then they played on Sunday against the Liberty team

1791
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:28,880
Speaker 1: that's really good. Like I was just looking at it

1792
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:30,680
Speaker 1: after the fact, say, Okay, she had three points on

1793
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 1: one of ten. Anybody can have a bad day, But

1794
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 1: is there something that would also help explain it. Well,

1795
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: the Liberty haven't played since May thirty first until today.

1796
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:40,960
Speaker 3: Right, they'd also they've had like.

1797
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,599
Speaker 1: Three days off going into this and the Fever, who

1798
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,680
Speaker 1: aren't that good anyway, played yesterday in a game that

1799
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:49,680
Speaker 1: came down to the last second and then immediate we

1800
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:52,360
Speaker 1: had to come back out twenty four hours later and

1801
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 1: play against one of the best teams in the league.

1802
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 1: So again, it's just I think it's important to put

1803
01:24:58,040 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 1: the context out there. She did have a horrible game

1804
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 1: before the worst game of her career, but you could

1805
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:08,799
Speaker 1: have potentially looked at that and said, Okay, well, maybe

1806
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 1: that's a little bit more explainable. They have been absolutely

1807
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 1: crushed in terms of all the games that they've played

1808
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 1: already this season.

1809
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 2: You know, I watch it up as I mean, look

1810
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 2: here we are talking about the WNBA, right, and how

1811
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 2: great that is for the WNBA.

1812
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:26,520
Speaker 3: I had done a when I was working at another network.

1813
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 2: We had a you know, we pulled somebody out of

1814
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:31,439
Speaker 2: the audience. If they made a half court shot, you

1815
01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 2: got like one hundred thousand dollars or something like that.

1816
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 2: It was before the Liberty game. I remember looking at

1817
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:41,600
Speaker 2: the crowd and the people tell me, this is unbelievable.

1818
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:45,160
Speaker 2: Look at this crowd. Yeah, it wasn't even a third full.

1819
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 2: It wasn't even a third full. And I'm thinking about

1820
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:51,719
Speaker 2: that night because they were given away one hundred thousand

1821
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 2: dollars to get even that third into the crowd there.

1822
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 2: Compared to now, where the Indiana Fever have more higher

1823
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 2: tenants in five.

1824
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:03,719
Speaker 3: Home games then they did all of last year.

1825
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 2: I mean, it is remarkable what Caitlin Clark is doing

1826
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 2: to draw these people into the game. And I saw

1827
01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 2: before the game today she went over to a group

1828
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 2: of kids that were wearing the Iowa shirts and the

1829
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 2: Fever shirts and the Caitlin Clark shirts, took pictures with them.

1830
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:24,840
Speaker 2: She's doing everything you're supposed to do, not when you're

1831
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 2: in the WNBA, not when you're a rookie, but when

1832
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:33,440
Speaker 2: you're going into any sport, whether it's baseball, football, basketball, hockey, track.

1833
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 3: And field, tennis.

1834
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 2: I don't care, be humble, remember where you came from,

1835
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 2: and give back to the fans that love you. That's

1836
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 2: exactly what she's doing. I actually tweeted that out, the

1837
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 2: video of her getting around all the kids. I thought

1838
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 2: that was fantastic and I think she loves to do

1839
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 2: it and good for her. But I just Jason, for

1840
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:56,639
Speaker 2: the life of me, and I know we talked about

1841
01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 2: this yesterday. The jealousy has gotten out of can. Yes,

1842
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:04,680
Speaker 2: I know there's competitiveness and they want to win, and

1843
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 2: I know that it gets chippy in the WNBA, and

1844
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 2: I'm totally okay with that. But the pettiness and the

1845
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 2: way some of the girls are going after Caitlin Clark,

1846
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 2: it's out of control. And why her own teammates don't

1847
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:21,679
Speaker 2: do anything to have her back or to protect her,

1848
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 2: and maybe they do, I don't because I don't watch

1849
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 2: all the games, is beside myself. I I just don't

1850
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:31,519
Speaker 2: understand it. You have to protect somebody like that, and

1851
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 2: I just can't understand the jealousy and the pettiness, as

1852
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:39,480
Speaker 2: Charles Barker would say. Here, they are flying at commercial flights,

1853
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 2: they're getting more money outside of the game, they're getting commercials,

1854
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 2: and that's all because of Caitlyn Clark.

1855
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:49,760
Speaker 3: I just don't understand what's going on here.

1856
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:52,559
Speaker 1: You know, they were tired of her before she got there,

1857
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:55,080
Speaker 1: and I said, they you don't want to loop everybody

1858
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 1: right in jenal Right, Yes, they were tired of her

1859
01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 1: before because they had heard enough and they had seen

1860
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 1: kind of the pageantry surrounding her last few months at

1861
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 1: Iowa and just the coverage that she was getting and

1862
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:14,519
Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. And generally speaking, it feels like,

1863
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 1: whether or not it's true, it feels like they'd rather

1864
01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:21,760
Speaker 1: their league not be successful if it means she would

1865
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 1: fall on her face, and that stinks. That level of

1866
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 1: just spite, if that's what it feels like, it feels

1867
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,720
Speaker 1: very spiteful towards her, right, And they're a myriad of

1868
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 1: factors that go into it. But the larger point here

1869
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 1: is and everyone knows this, whether they want to admit

1870
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:41,680
Speaker 1: it or whether they want to write a bunch of

1871
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 1: columns about other women basketball players that do nothing from

1872
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:49,679
Speaker 1: a business standpoint, doesn't mean anything about their basketball acumen

1873
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 1: or anything else. That's not what we're talking about here.

1874
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:55,599
Speaker 1: We're talking about sometimes there's bigger stars. There's just bigger stars.

1875
01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 1: Sometimes you catch lighting in a bottle. And if you're

1876
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,679
Speaker 1: a league like a WNBA, this is the a block

1877
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 1: on a national sports radio show in June. We're not

1878
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:07,600
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, we're not in your postseason, which I

1879
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 1: don't even know when it starts, and we're talking about

1880
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:14,120
Speaker 1: your league because there's something special here. There's something unique here.

1881
01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 1: It feels like something you want to go be a

1882
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 1: part of when it comes to your town. I want

1883
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: to see your play once. I want to be able

1884
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:23,799
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, I went and saw Caitlin Clark whatever.

1885
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 1: Like There's just there's events like that, and I don't

1886
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,719
Speaker 1: know how long it lasts. I don't know how long

1887
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:35,200
Speaker 1: you actually have here before everyone goes back into their

1888
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:39,439
Speaker 1: regular routines and the WNBA kind of recedes back to

1889
01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:44,599
Speaker 1: not being relevant on the national sports scene. So I

1890
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:49,559
Speaker 1: feel like everybody is missing the opportunity to drift off

1891
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 1: of her. If you want to think of her like

1892
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:55,679
Speaker 1: a race car, you can everybody can go a little

1893
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:57,760
Speaker 1: bit faster with her. But I don't think that the

1894
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 1: way to do that is cheap shot fouls and some

1895
01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 1: of this stuff, like some of the comments, like the

1896
01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:06,360
Speaker 1: Angel Reese comment for example. I mean, yeah, but Angel rees.

1897
01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 1: The reason we know who Angel Reese is is because

1898
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:11,640
Speaker 1: we know the Clarks exactly, and she's still doing that.

1899
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: And honestly, it's smart by her because she's trying to

1900
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:19,439
Speaker 1: stay Caitlin Clark's rival. She's still because she says kind

1901
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:22,599
Speaker 1: stuff about her in press conferences that you know, we're friendly,

1902
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:24,439
Speaker 1: you know, we don't hate each other, and all this

1903
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:27,200
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I don't know if that's true or not.

1904
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:29,880
Speaker 1: I know that that's a rivalry that feels like it's

1905
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, ripped out of pro wrestling. It feels like

1906
01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 1: it would be right at home in WWE or AEW

1907
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:39,960
Speaker 1: or somewhere like that. But if you're Angel Reese, she's

1908
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:42,759
Speaker 1: not that great a basketball player. Not that she's terrible,

1909
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 1: but she's not going to be you know, she's not

1910
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:46,680
Speaker 1: going to go down as one of the greatest of

1911
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:49,360
Speaker 1: all time or anything. But she has an opportunity and

1912
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 1: she I think is taking advantage of it in the

1913
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:54,240
Speaker 1: right way. But some of this stuff, as you mentioned,

1914
01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:57,519
Speaker 1: is beyond the pale, and it's just harmful because it's

1915
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:01,320
Speaker 1: we don't know your name because you elbowed Caitlyn. It

1916
01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:03,160
Speaker 1: just makes us look at and be like, well, why

1917
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:05,760
Speaker 1: do we even care about your stupid league? Like that's

1918
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:08,040
Speaker 1: how it feels. It's like, do you want us to

1919
01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:10,720
Speaker 1: watch or not? Do you do you want to take

1920
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:12,719
Speaker 1: advantage of this? Do you like some of the things

1921
01:31:12,720 --> 01:31:14,920
Speaker 1: that are happening, or do you just want us to

1922
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:16,800
Speaker 1: go back to treat you the way we did last

1923
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:18,920
Speaker 1: year in terms of your league, because we'll be glad

1924
01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:21,200
Speaker 1: to do that. There's I mean, it's not that entertaining.

1925
01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:24,599
Speaker 2: When's the last time we had an athlete that went

1926
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 2: ahead and brought this much attention to a sport. I mean, yes,

1927
01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:30,040
Speaker 2: there was a Lebron, there was a Gretzki when he

1928
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:35,719
Speaker 2: came into the NHL, burden magic. Obviously they saved the NBA.

1929
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:39,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I know the answer, Tim Tebow. Maybe are

1930
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:42,720
Speaker 2: we talking about team sports or overall, just don't like

1931
01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:45,240
Speaker 2: tiger Woods. Well, Tiger Wood, yes.

1932
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:47,519
Speaker 1: And then you can look at for women's tennis, you

1933
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 1: could look at Venus and Serena. I think maybe Mike Tyson, Yeah,

1934
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:55,120
Speaker 1: Tyson and boxing. I definitely think that's a that's a

1935
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:57,880
Speaker 1: good one. I mean there there are some examples of this.

1936
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody cared about swim, but they carecter individual

1937
01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:03,639
Speaker 1: those are individual sports.

1938
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at the teams.

1939
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you look at team sports in terms of

1940
01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 1: just saving a league, you talk about Magic and Larry

1941
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:12,920
Speaker 1: I definitely think there is something to be said, and

1942
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:15,400
Speaker 1: then Lebron kind of picking up the torch for Michael

1943
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:18,040
Speaker 1: Jordan and then it's him and Kobe and but I

1944
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:22,880
Speaker 1: do think that there were other uh contributors that had

1945
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 1: that same kind of thing. Baseball has been struggling to

1946
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:30,599
Speaker 1: find that person. I don't think Mike Trout's been their

1947
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:33,320
Speaker 1: best player. But Mike Trout wasn't that guy. He wasn't

1948
01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:36,920
Speaker 1: the one that was going to stand out in that way. Now,

1949
01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:39,639
Speaker 1: maybe you have like a Dela Cruz now or something

1950
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:42,000
Speaker 1: like that, but you don't have you don't have some

1951
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:45,200
Speaker 1: of the personalities that you had with those mid eighties

1952
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:48,000
Speaker 1: Mets teams, Harper some of those kind of people. Yeah,

1953
01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:51,200
Speaker 1: Harper is a good example. Yeah, I think that's true.

1954
01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:54,880
Speaker 1: But but you're right. I mean, Caitlin Clark is the

1955
01:32:55,160 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 1: entire league from a from a financially uh been official standpoint. Again,

1956
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:03,880
Speaker 1: this is not that no one's working hard and that

1957
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 1: no one can play and all this other kind of

1958
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:09,600
Speaker 1: stuff relative to the women's game. It's just that you

1959
01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:13,080
Speaker 1: have one meal ticket from a business perspective.

1960
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:18,640
Speaker 2: And she's bringing in money from the TV revenue and

1961
01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:21,719
Speaker 2: making that higher so they can get a better salary

1962
01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:24,479
Speaker 2: from years down the line. It's gonna be because of her,

1963
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:27,760
Speaker 2: for the reason in two, three, four years, salaries will

1964
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 2: go up because you got to pay an extra You

1965
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:32,720
Speaker 2: gotta pay more money for the rights of the WNBA,

1966
01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:35,600
Speaker 2: so that money is gonna go back to the WNBA

1967
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:36,439
Speaker 2: and you're gonna get.

1968
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:37,160
Speaker 3: A higher salaries.

1969
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 2: But don't make any mistake about it, the league still

1970
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:40,080
Speaker 2: doesn't make any money.

1971
01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 3: It's subsidized by the NBA.

1972
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:43,960
Speaker 2: When is it gonna be able to stand out in

1973
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:45,639
Speaker 2: its own two feet That's gonna be the question.

1974
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:47,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't know if the watcher is ever

1975
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 1: gonna be I don't know that it will ever stand

1976
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:54,960
Speaker 1: on his feet because for all of the women's basketball

1977
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 1: is now renaissance on the I don't think so. I

1978
01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:01,760
Speaker 1: think this is this is a moment in time that

1979
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:04,200
Speaker 1: you need to take as much advantage of as possible.

1980
01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:06,920
Speaker 1: But you also need to be realistic and look at

1981
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:10,840
Speaker 1: what's what is success for the WNBA. Is this the

1982
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:14,720
Speaker 1: high point you hope not if you're in women's basketball,

1983
01:34:14,760 --> 01:34:17,600
Speaker 1: but at the very least you can't afford to squander it.

1984
01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:22,320
Speaker 1: And that's what I see in some ways that right now,

1985
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:25,639
Speaker 1: everything that you read about this doesn't make me want

1986
01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 1: to actually watch it, but like you know what, you've

1987
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:30,519
Speaker 1: done a good job at pushing me away.

1988
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:33,400
Speaker 2: Sharon tweets and said, I have to believe that Caitlin

1989
01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:35,920
Speaker 2: Clark was heard by that disgusting hit. She was hit

1990
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:38,880
Speaker 2: hard and it hit hard on the floor. I think

1991
01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 2: that may have had it would effect on today's game,

1992
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:43,280
Speaker 2: could have been like you said, Jason was back to

1993
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:44,479
Speaker 2: back games too, you know.

1994
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean she was worn out, the team was

1995
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:47,920
Speaker 1: worn out. They I mean they got beat by like

1996
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:50,679
Speaker 1: forty I mean they got absolutely destroyed in the game.

1997
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:54,080
Speaker 1: She was complaining with something with her ear. I don't know.

1998
01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 1: I think it was something actually happened during the game,

1999
01:34:56,400 --> 01:35:00,680
Speaker 1: but certainly that comment is not off base. I mean

2000
01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 1: that shot was just there was nothing basketball about that.

2001
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:07,040
Speaker 1: Even Caitlin Clark said that wasn't a basketball play. I mean,

2002
01:35:07,240 --> 01:35:09,839
Speaker 1: just walk past her angry and just straight up elbowed

2003
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:11,679
Speaker 1: her and knocked her down. There wasn't that the ball

2004
01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:14,200
Speaker 1: wasn't even in play at the time. It was. It

2005
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:17,679
Speaker 1: was like immediate ejection right there. I know they upgraded

2006
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,599
Speaker 1: it to a flagrant one, right which flagrant one? That's

2007
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:22,839
Speaker 1: just flagrant as it gets because it was just basically

2008
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:24,519
Speaker 1: assaulting someone for no reason.

2009
01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 3: I like this tweet that came in just now.

2010
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:30,920
Speaker 2: Can't the Indiana Fever hire Beer Bill Lambier as a

2011
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:35,160
Speaker 2: special assistant coach to sit and just glare at the

2012
01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:38,720
Speaker 2: Chicago sky Post players for the rematch? Yeah, that would

2013
01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:40,840
Speaker 2: be pretty good, especially if he still has that black eye,

2014
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:41,439
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?

2015
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:44,600
Speaker 1: Just that Beer was was part of the WNBA, was

2016
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:44,880
Speaker 1: he not.

2017
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:47,160
Speaker 3: I think he used to be a coach, but I'm

2018
01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 3: not sure, like.

2019
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:49,640
Speaker 1: I think he actually has a tie to that. I

2020
01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:51,320
Speaker 1: do think he was a head coach at some point

2021
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:55,320
Speaker 1: so I mean, that's not out of the realm of possibility.

2022
01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:58,760
Speaker 3: Just have him stared glare at the other team and

2023
01:35:59,280 --> 01:35:59,680
Speaker 3: get him.

2024
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:05,439
Speaker 1: Get Rick Mahore. Where's Anthony Mason right now? Like find

2025
01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:08,040
Speaker 1: the all like the all Goon team.

2026
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:11,519
Speaker 3: I think Anthony Mason might have passed away? Uh oh really, yeah,

2027
01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:14,360
Speaker 3: I think did I miss that? You might have to

2028
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:15,479
Speaker 3: do you have to pull that up.

2029
01:36:15,640 --> 01:36:17,720
Speaker 1: I used to do this all the time. I used

2030
01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:19,879
Speaker 1: to actually do it in reverse and say this person's

2031
01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:21,200
Speaker 1: dead and they were still alive.

2032
01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 3: Oh well, yeah, I think I'm not a hunt I think.

2033
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 1: He did pass away, you know what. And he passed

2034
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:28,200
Speaker 1: away a long time ago too. I totally missed that.

2035
01:36:28,439 --> 01:36:30,360
Speaker 2: Wow, well, well I was gonna say a couple of

2036
01:36:30,439 --> 01:36:34,040
Speaker 2: years ago, but time flies on by that. But yeah,

2037
01:36:34,120 --> 01:36:35,840
Speaker 2: you get some of the bad boys sitting on the

2038
01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:38,800
Speaker 2: bench out there and kind of glare at the other team.

2039
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:41,719
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of bad that her team isn't very good.

2040
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 2: I'm wondering how long we're to continue to tune on

2041
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:47,360
Speaker 2: in to watch Caitlin Clark until we're like, Okay, enough

2042
01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:49,599
Speaker 2: is enough. They're not a good team that losing by

2043
01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:52,280
Speaker 2: twenty or twenty five points every time, well, I.

2044
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 1: Want to know what the TV ratings are going to be, Like,

2045
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what the TV ratings are is

2046
01:36:56,280 --> 01:36:58,840
Speaker 1: this season goes along because everybody tuned in for the

2047
01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:01,639
Speaker 1: curiosity factor. I'm now already to the point where I'm

2048
01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:04,879
Speaker 1: just kind of following it via the news that's happening

2049
01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:07,639
Speaker 1: right and the box scores. I'm not going and finding

2050
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:09,840
Speaker 1: the games. I did that for like the first week.

2051
01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:12,960
Speaker 1: It's not that if I saw her playing, I wouldn't

2052
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:15,240
Speaker 1: stay and watch for a minute or two or whatever.

2053
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:19,800
Speaker 1: But I feel like that's going to continue to kind

2054
01:37:19,800 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 1: of deteriorate. There's gonna be some entropy there. We're gonna

2055
01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:24,439
Speaker 1: see a little bit of decomposition of that, and it's

2056
01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 1: just gonna kind of it's gonna come. There's gonna be

2057
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:29,639
Speaker 1: a baseline, but I think that baseline is gonna be

2058
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:33,280
Speaker 1: relatively small in terms of people that are actually tuning

2059
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 1: in and watching the games. And it definitely does not

2060
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:38,599
Speaker 1: help that the team hasn't been good and they've been

2061
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:42,599
Speaker 1: put through murderers row when it comes to a schedule

2062
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:46,719
Speaker 1: early in the season, and the one thing they can't

2063
01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 1: have is her be bad and she's not. She had

2064
01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 1: that one. She had a terrible game on Sunday. But

2065
01:37:53,720 --> 01:37:55,719
Speaker 1: the one thing they need is for her to be good,

2066
01:37:55,960 --> 01:37:59,040
Speaker 1: like she's got to be good, because that's really what

2067
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 1: her aura was to be in with in colleges, that

2068
01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 1: she was that good.

2069
01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:04,439
Speaker 2: We had a host, I know, a host that said

2070
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 2: she should be playing in the NBA.

2071
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we won't met your names, sane.

2072
01:38:08,320 --> 01:38:09,880
Speaker 3: We won't mention your names out there.

2073
01:38:10,040 --> 01:38:10,160
Speaker 1: Oh.

2074
01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:12,400
Speaker 2: By the way, Third Bode Racing is they knew independent

2075
01:38:12,439 --> 01:38:17,160
Speaker 2: regulator HEISA that is implementing comprehensive reform and the sport

2086
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:49,800
Speaker 2: this Sunday night, Still a lot to get to. You know,

2087
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 2: Jason Plank and I always argue that we don't hit

2088
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 2: all the Roman numerals that I write down before the show.

2089
01:38:57,320 --> 01:38:59,400
Speaker 2: We write, we write Roman numerals. That's the way it

2090
01:38:59,439 --> 01:39:01,920
Speaker 2: was done old's school. I don't know if you learned

2091
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:05,520
Speaker 2: that in school. Well, that's what that's how you run outlines.

2092
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:11,160
Speaker 2: Roman numeral number one. I gave you the big ten.

2093
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 2: Maybe see if I can stump you on the SEC

2094
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:18,439
Speaker 2: because you are the you are the college football guy Georgia,

2095
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:21,720
Speaker 2: the favorite to win the SEC the subcoming year. They're

2096
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:24,320
Speaker 2: plus one eighty five. That means one hundred dollars get

2097
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 2: you back one eighty five. Do you want to take

2098
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:30,880
Speaker 2: a guess who's second? Who's predicted a second to win

2099
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:31,639
Speaker 2: the SEC?

2100
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 1: I have not seen this, but I would say.

2101
01:39:34,280 --> 01:39:36,840
Speaker 2: Texas, Oh good, guess I thought I was gonna catch it.

2102
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:39,240
Speaker 2: Maybe you thought that maybe Texas you forgot they were

2103
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:41,400
Speaker 2: gonna be in the SEC. I was a little surprised

2104
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 2: about that. Plus three ten, then Ole miss at plus

2105
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:45,839
Speaker 2: six fifteen.

2106
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:48,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean if they don't win with what they

2107
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:51,879
Speaker 1: I mean, look at their look at how they've handled

2108
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 1: and who they're bringing in, Like the nil money and

2109
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:58,280
Speaker 1: what they've spent like that. That's why they were up there,

2110
01:39:58,439 --> 01:40:01,240
Speaker 1: Like you look at that roster is loaded and we

2111
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:04,160
Speaker 1: all know lank if it can coach let me, you know.

2112
01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 2: I It just occurred to me as we were talking

2113
01:40:06,560 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 2: about Texas and we were talking about Caitlin Clark, and

2114
01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:12,080
Speaker 2: we said, when's the last time somebody came into a

2115
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:15,960
Speaker 2: team sport that we desperately wanted to see? Could I

2116
01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:20,240
Speaker 2: put arch Manning in that maybe position? But what we

2117
01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:22,960
Speaker 2: were dying is if I told you that he was

2118
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:26,040
Speaker 2: going to start Game one, you would have that circled

2119
01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 2: with a red marker, you know, with an asterisk.

2120
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:31,439
Speaker 3: Sake, I can't wait, wouldn't you know? Let's go?

2121
01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:34,880
Speaker 2: I want everybody would watch that game? Right, That's that's true.

2122
01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:37,679
Speaker 1: But that would be a different factor because we already

2123
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:40,559
Speaker 1: know what Caitlin Clark is as a quantity, because we've

2124
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:44,000
Speaker 1: actually seen her play a lot in college like WNBA Y.

2125
01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 1: I understand that's different. But arch Manning we know nothing

2126
01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:49,360
Speaker 1: about except what he's done in high school.

2127
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:50,920
Speaker 3: Is he gonna stay there? Because I don't think he's

2128
01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:51,800
Speaker 3: gonna play this year?

2129
01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:53,519
Speaker 1: Right, He's not going to play this year it'll be

2130
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:55,080
Speaker 1: yours unless you weres gets hurt.

2131
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:56,280
Speaker 3: Oh my Goodnes don't know.

2132
01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:58,240
Speaker 1: I mean I think that if there's anybody that would

2133
01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:01,400
Speaker 1: tell him stay the course, it would be Hayden and Eli, right.

2134
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:03,559
Speaker 1: I think that I think that the family that he

2135
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 1: is in, he knows he's gonna get his opportunity and

2136
01:41:07,600 --> 01:41:08,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't need to rush this.

2137
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:10,479
Speaker 3: He thought he was going to be a four year

2138
01:41:10,520 --> 01:41:11,840
Speaker 3: starter probably.

2139
01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:16,479
Speaker 1: Or not right, because I mean, he's going if he

2140
01:41:16,640 --> 01:41:19,840
Speaker 1: has the talent that we're told that he has, he's

2141
01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:22,720
Speaker 1: going to end up in the NFL. He's gonna have

2142
01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:26,040
Speaker 1: his moment to be the starting quarterback at Texas. If

2143
01:41:26,040 --> 01:41:28,439
Speaker 1: he wants to leave and go somewhere else, then you know,

2144
01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 1: that's a that's a that's a chance that he can take.

2145
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:34,479
Speaker 1: But I just think that they're probably telling him, look,

2146
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna get your opportunity to shine like it's it's

2147
01:41:37,320 --> 01:41:41,280
Speaker 1: yours time right now. If yours goes down, then maybe

2148
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 1: you're gonna have that opportunity a little bit sooner. But

2149
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't think arts needs to rush.

2150
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:51,400
Speaker 2: Is Arch penty a time another Brownie James situation happened, Well.

2151
01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:53,680
Speaker 1: Doesn't play with the height that he yeah, but look

2152
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 1: at the HYPEI coming out of high school, like look

2153
01:41:55,840 --> 01:41:59,200
Speaker 1: at you know, yeah, but that but a lot of

2154
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:03,559
Speaker 1: that was stro with Arch. It was just look at

2155
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:06,439
Speaker 1: what he can do. He's he's got the arm Peyton

2156
01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:09,479
Speaker 1: and Eli, but he can also move and all of

2157
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:11,760
Speaker 1: those things like that stuff didn't just come out of

2158
01:42:11,800 --> 01:42:14,320
Speaker 1: thin air. Like he was an incredible prospect and we

2159
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:16,639
Speaker 1: knew that coming out. And by the way, quinn Ewers

2160
01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:20,640
Speaker 1: was like a perfect prospect, like in terms of his

2161
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,240
Speaker 1: ratings coming out of high school. So you look at

2162
01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:25,600
Speaker 1: where he finds himself. Now, now he is in this

2163
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 1: prime opportunity and Arch is just kind of sitting there

2164
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 1: Biden's time. He's going to be fine, and maybe who

2165
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:34,600
Speaker 1: knows how how much he's learning behind the scenes, and

2166
01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:36,439
Speaker 1: when he does take over, he's going to be much

2167
01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:38,640
Speaker 1: more equipped and the stuff that maybe he couldn't have

2168
01:42:38,640 --> 01:42:40,960
Speaker 1: known until he got there. He might have all the tangibles,

2169
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:43,000
Speaker 1: but now he's learning some of the other qualities that

2170
01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 1: you need to succeed at the highest level. I just

2171
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:49,680
Speaker 1: think hit the brakes on trying to rush it in

2172
01:42:50,160 --> 01:42:51,519
Speaker 1: because he's gonna get his chance.

2173
01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:54,920
Speaker 2: Eli's old team Ole miss at number three at plus

2174
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:58,479
Speaker 2: six fifty and then Alabama number four plus nine fifty

2175
01:42:58,479 --> 01:43:00,760
Speaker 2: wins the last time. Yet, if I'm at the number

2176
01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:03,320
Speaker 2: four slide all because of Nick Saban or because they

2177
01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 2: say they lost so many players once Nick left, I mean,

2178
01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:08,800
Speaker 2: obviously they're gonna miss Nick Saban, though.

2179
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:11,120
Speaker 1: I mean it Saban's the biggest factor. It is because

2180
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:15,879
Speaker 1: even though Kaitlyn de War has succeeded everywhere he's coached,

2181
01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:19,360
Speaker 1: this is a completely different challenge for him, and he's

2182
01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:22,680
Speaker 1: replacing the guy and that can be incredibly difficult to do.

2183
01:43:22,800 --> 01:43:25,080
Speaker 1: They've still got milrow, they've still got some talent, but

2184
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:28,439
Speaker 1: they lost some talent as well, and you just have

2185
01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:31,640
Speaker 1: to see how the borer is gonna come in and

2186
01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:34,080
Speaker 1: how he's gonna work, because this is a different SEC,

2187
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 1: it really is. And you know Saban got out, didn't

2188
01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 1: want the nil, didn't want to do all those kinds

2189
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:41,800
Speaker 1: of things. Not surprised. I predicted it two three years ago.

2190
01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:43,599
Speaker 1: I said he's got about three more years and he'll

2191
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:45,639
Speaker 1: be out, not because he can't win anymore, but because

2192
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be his fun for him anymore. And

2193
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:50,760
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be great on TV but I

2194
01:43:50,760 --> 01:43:55,559
Speaker 1: mean you look at Tennessee is there now you were

2195
01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:57,280
Speaker 1: gonna see what A and M is gonna do now

2196
01:43:57,280 --> 01:43:59,800
Speaker 1: that they've moved on from Jimbo Fisher. But you bring

2197
01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:02,800
Speaker 1: in Texas, you bring in Oklahoma, you have what you

2198
01:44:02,920 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 1: already had in that conference. Ole Miss is certainly not

2199
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:06,040
Speaker 1: going anywhere.

2200
01:44:06,040 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a root awakening for a Tennee Oklahoma

2201
01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:12,200
Speaker 2: after you know, being in the Patsy Conference ad with

2202
01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:12,719
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve.

2203
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 3: Now go to the.

2204
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 2: SEC every week is gonna be on the line for them,

2205
01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:17,160
Speaker 2: that's for sure.

2206
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it's gonna be I think it's

2207
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:22,479
Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch because I do think the

2208
01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:24,439
Speaker 1: Big Twelve in the past couple of years has been

2209
01:44:24,479 --> 01:44:28,400
Speaker 1: pretty good as a conference they have, It's been competitive,

2210
01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:30,920
Speaker 1: it's a different kind of football it's played in the SEC,

2211
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 1: and you were gonna see but Texas handled themselves pretty

2212
01:44:35,080 --> 01:44:36,559
Speaker 1: well against Alabama a year ago.

2213
01:44:36,800 --> 01:44:39,439
Speaker 2: You're an SEC guy, though, so you're more excited about

2214
01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:42,920
Speaker 2: watching the the U SEC than anybody else out there.

2215
01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 8: Well, I don't know about anybody in the world, but no,

2216
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:49,920
Speaker 8: I meant, yeah, I'm at a fever pitch like like

2217
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:52,720
Speaker 8: anybody I'm at one hundred percent, So anybody else that

2218
01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:54,280
Speaker 8: wants to join me at one hundred percent is that

2219
01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:54,960
Speaker 8: one hundred percent.

2220
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:56,880
Speaker 1: I can't wait for the college football season. I can't.

2221
01:44:56,880 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 1: I want to see how all this actually plays out out,

2222
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:03,040
Speaker 1: what this looks like, because it's it just feels like

2223
01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:07,439
Speaker 1: it's basically a professional sport now, and you have an

2224
01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:09,880
Speaker 1: il with it, especially with the schools being able to

2225
01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:12,560
Speaker 1: pay directly and not having to go through their proxies

2226
01:45:13,160 --> 01:45:16,280
Speaker 1: in these collectives. You have all of that. You now

2227
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:20,559
Speaker 1: have a ruling the NCAA transfer rules are completely gone.

2228
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:25,200
Speaker 1: Now you have unlimited transfers from athletes, right, which I

2229
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:30,760
Speaker 1: think is I understand why, but I don't think that's

2230
01:45:30,760 --> 01:45:33,960
Speaker 1: gonna work because I mean, how how how good are

2231
01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:35,560
Speaker 1: you gonna have to treat these guys? Are they just

2232
01:45:35,600 --> 01:45:37,240
Speaker 1: gonna be able to leave during the third quarter?

2233
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:37,960
Speaker 3: Geez?

2234
01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:42,559
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna get a ratings a game that's

2235
01:45:42,600 --> 01:45:46,360
Speaker 2: gonna maybe rival a bad NFL game, You know what

2236
01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:49,040
Speaker 2: I'm saying That we're gonna have two teams that were like,

2237
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:52,360
Speaker 2: my goodness, welcome to the SEC or welcome to the

2238
01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:55,360
Speaker 2: Big Ten with the USC or UCLA game and everybody's

2239
01:45:55,400 --> 01:45:57,760
Speaker 2: gonna be tuned in and it's gonna shatter all kinds

2240
01:45:57,760 --> 01:45:59,559
Speaker 2: of records. I think this is gonna be great for

2241
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:03,840
Speaker 2: college I believe everybody's pumped up in kind of a

2242
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:05,400
Speaker 2: renowned interest in seeing this.

2243
01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:08,760
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I mean again, you I don't have

2244
01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:10,960
Speaker 1: to be renewed to my interests. But I do like

2245
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 1: the fact that we have a few more teams in

2246
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 1: a playoff so that we have more stakes, more games

2247
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:18,200
Speaker 1: with stakes. At the end, it's just gonna be fun

2248
01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:22,719
Speaker 1: to see how it works and what needs to be tweaked,

2249
01:46:22,800 --> 01:46:24,960
Speaker 1: because I do think some of it is not going

2250
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:27,040
Speaker 1: to work, and they're going to have to figure their

2251
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:29,360
Speaker 1: way through that and hopefully they're going to make the

2252
01:46:29,439 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 1: right decisions along the way. But it's gonna be a

2253
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:33,960
Speaker 1: really fun year for college football. I can't wait.

2254
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:36,320
Speaker 2: We got some more football notes to get to. We'll

2255
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:38,439
Speaker 2: get to that, but first the final checking with Steve

2258
01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:45,640
Speaker 7: And first things first, the NBA Finals don't start till Thursday,

2259
01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:48,439
Speaker 7: but we'll finally get that underway when the Celtics host

Speaker 7: Sunday night. We mentioned the series a little bit last night,

2262
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:57,800
Speaker 7: but there's the stat that the Celtics this postseason, when

2263

Speaker 7: outscored their opponents from three point range by ten points

2266
01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:09,559
Speaker 7: per game, in addition to outscoring them at the line

2267
01:47:09,800 --> 01:47:12,640
Speaker 7: six points per game. Boston the one seed in the

Speaker 2: My friend Jason Martin in for Chris play Cambarti spad

2355
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:53,080
Speaker 2: you're radio on Fox Sports Radio.

2356
01:51:53,320 --> 01:51:53,519
Speaker 1: You know.

2357
01:51:53,640 --> 01:51:57,639
Speaker 2: On Twitter, they had that video of Aaron Rodgers sitting

2358
01:51:57,720 --> 01:52:01,120
Speaker 2: down after doing some exercises, taking off his shoe and

2359
01:52:01,160 --> 01:52:03,439
Speaker 2: then his sock, looking at his foot. I'm saying, is

2360
01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:06,479
Speaker 2: he looking at his achilles or something something bothering him?

2361
01:52:06,479 --> 01:52:06,879
Speaker 3: Already?

2362
01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:10,400
Speaker 2: We haven't even started contact. I know he's out and about,

2363
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:13,800
Speaker 2: you know, making the rounds at events and stuff like that.

2364
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 2: I don't buy that a quarterback just south of forty

2365
01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:19,920
Speaker 2: is gonna bounce back from an injury like this, especially

2366
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:22,759
Speaker 2: in the division where Miami pretty much has it wrapped

2367
01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:24,960
Speaker 2: up in. The Buffalo Bills are a damn good team. Also,

2368
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 2: they're gonna be one two. The only thing in their

2369
01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:30,720
Speaker 2: favor is the Patriots just stink and probably not even

2370
01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:33,280
Speaker 2: gonna win four to five games this year. I don't

2371
01:52:33,280 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 2: think Rogers is in for a good year. I don't

2372
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:37,840
Speaker 2: think he could bounce back, man. I don't care how

2373
01:52:37,920 --> 01:52:40,599
Speaker 2: much hyahuasca or whatever it's called that he takes. I

2374
01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:42,360
Speaker 2: just don't think is gonna be able to.

2375
01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:42,800
Speaker 3: Work it out.

2376
01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:45,800
Speaker 2: You can't come back from an injury that easy like

2377
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:47,519
Speaker 2: he plans on doing, you know what I mean?

2378
01:52:47,960 --> 01:52:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean at his age, we just got to see.

2379
01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:56,280
Speaker 1: We're just not gonna know. They have what the Monday

2380
01:52:56,360 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: night game again to open the season, right, is that right?

2381
01:52:59,600 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 1: So they're setting it right up for you if they want.

2382
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:05,439
Speaker 1: But him, you know, taking off the shoe in the

2383
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:09,840
Speaker 1: sock and there's the camera for it. It's we saw

2384
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:11,840
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks go down last year. We see

2385
01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:13,880
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks go down every year. He was

2386
01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:15,439
Speaker 1: one of them last year. Is it gonna be one

2387
01:53:15,439 --> 01:53:17,080
Speaker 1: of them this year? Maybe?

2388
01:53:17,200 --> 01:53:19,800
Speaker 3: I don't know wish she goes down or anything like that.

2389
01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:23,000
Speaker 2: I just you know, when you saw that that video,

2390
01:53:23,040 --> 01:53:25,360
Speaker 2: if you were a Jet fan, it just about wants

2391
01:53:25,360 --> 01:53:28,160
Speaker 2: to make you sick. When you see that, you're thinking, man,

2392
01:53:28,280 --> 01:53:30,160
Speaker 2: could that be an injury or something? And I did

2393
01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:31,840
Speaker 2: want to ask you because we didn't have a chance

2394
01:53:31,880 --> 01:53:34,519
Speaker 2: to get to this yesterday, about that gold medal wrestler

2395
01:53:35,320 --> 01:53:37,880
Speaker 2: that's tried out for the Bills, Steves whether they gave

2396
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:43,520
Speaker 2: Stevenson or Steveson Gabel. Steveson okay, never played any football whatsoever?

2397
01:53:43,680 --> 01:53:44,559
Speaker 1: Right, right?

2398
01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:48,400
Speaker 3: Two hundred and sixty pounds and what six feet?

2399
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's a big guy.

2400
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:52,320
Speaker 3: Well that's not that big for a football, is.

2401
01:53:52,280 --> 01:53:56,599
Speaker 1: It, No, But I mean general population. I mean he's

2402
01:53:56,600 --> 01:54:00,880
Speaker 1: a monstrous guy. But like the part of this that

2403
01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:04,320
Speaker 1: I don't know you wouldn't know unless you knew, is

2404
01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:10,439
Speaker 1: he was in WWE and it didn't work. He didn't

2405
01:54:10,479 --> 01:54:13,479
Speaker 1: have the personality they needed when they put them on television.

2406
01:54:13,479 --> 01:54:16,000
Speaker 1: They put him in a in a major live event

2407
01:54:16,040 --> 01:54:17,679
Speaker 1: spot and he flopped.

2408
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:18,799
Speaker 3: Oh geez.

2409
01:54:19,200 --> 01:54:21,479
Speaker 1: He just wasn't there. He didn't have what it took.

2410
01:54:22,080 --> 01:54:24,519
Speaker 1: And sometimes you do and sometimes you don't. Sometimes you'll

2411
01:54:24,520 --> 01:54:27,080
Speaker 1: bring in an amateur guy like a brock Lesner and

2412
01:54:27,120 --> 01:54:30,280
Speaker 1: he turns into one of the all time greats in

2413
01:54:30,360 --> 01:54:31,960
Speaker 1: terms of what you were able to do from him

2414
01:54:31,960 --> 01:54:34,120
Speaker 1: from a money standpoint, or you do that with a

2415
01:54:34,200 --> 01:54:36,600
Speaker 1: Kurt Angle or something like that. But with Gable Steveson,

2416
01:54:36,640 --> 01:54:40,960
Speaker 1: it didn't work. And I think the reason why this

2417
01:54:41,040 --> 01:54:43,880
Speaker 1: has worked in the past, like you've seen some champion

2418
01:54:43,880 --> 01:54:45,760
Speaker 1: wrestlers end up I think one ended up on the

2419
01:54:45,800 --> 01:54:48,480
Speaker 1: Patriots years ago, and of course Brock actually went out

2420
01:54:48,520 --> 01:54:53,000
Speaker 1: for the Vikings. I mean Gable Steveson might be an

2421
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:58,400
Speaker 1: incredible athlete. When you look at this from the Bills perspective,

2422
01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:00,680
Speaker 1: it's probably pretty low risk because if it doesn't work,

2423
01:55:00,720 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 1: you just move on or.

2424
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:02,680
Speaker 3: The practice squad.

2425
01:55:02,720 --> 01:55:04,960
Speaker 2: I mean there's right, Yeah, there's so many people on

2426
01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:05,839
Speaker 2: the practice squad.

2427
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:08,160
Speaker 1: If he's if it doesn't work, it's not like you're

2428
01:55:08,160 --> 01:55:10,080
Speaker 1: paying him a ton of money, right, You're just giving

2429
01:55:10,120 --> 01:55:12,120
Speaker 1: him an opportunity to come in see what he's got.

2430
01:55:12,560 --> 01:55:15,320
Speaker 1: And I've seen no harm, no foul in that. If

2431
01:55:15,320 --> 01:55:18,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't work, then you won't see Gable Steveson wearing

2432
01:55:18,320 --> 01:55:21,120
Speaker 1: a Bills uniform. But I just look at him, it's like, well,

2433
01:55:21,160 --> 01:55:23,560
Speaker 1: good for him. It just didn't work out in WWE.

2434
01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:26,560
Speaker 1: It just some guys click with it and some guys don't.

2435
01:55:26,640 --> 01:55:31,200
Speaker 1: And it's hard to tell before the fact sometimes who's

2436
01:55:31,240 --> 01:55:33,520
Speaker 1: got it and who doesn't in that universe, and it

2437
01:55:33,760 --> 01:55:36,880
Speaker 1: just it never worked. And so I hope this one

2438
01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:37,720
Speaker 1: goes better for him.

2439
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:39,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be keeping my eye eye on it, and

2440
01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:42,120
Speaker 2: I want to see how far he goes and if

2441
01:55:42,120 --> 01:55:43,720
Speaker 2: he's able to go ahead and make the team or

2442
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:45,760
Speaker 2: have to put him on the practice squad.

2443
01:55:45,840 --> 01:55:46,840
Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna come back.

2444
01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:49,680
Speaker 2: We'll give our predictions for the NBA finals, and we

2445
01:55:49,760 --> 01:55:51,680
Speaker 2: got the Stanley Cup Finals, so we'll do that and

2446
01:55:51,680 --> 01:55:54,240
Speaker 2: we'll get to any finishing stories before we get out

2447
01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:57,280
Speaker 2: of here. Chase and Martin for Chris Pike and Martie Spanier.

01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:09,840
Speaker 2: to Patrick for whatever he did.

2452
01:56:10,600 --> 01:56:12,560
Speaker 3: Wow, it finally happened.

2453
01:56:12,840 --> 01:56:15,400
Speaker 2: Well, they told me, they told me that's your name,

2454
01:56:15,680 --> 01:56:18,600
Speaker 2: So I'm just going with what they're telling me. Thanks

2455
01:56:18,600 --> 01:56:23,360
Speaker 2: to Eminem that's Mary Macheck, my technical director out there.

2456
01:56:23,720 --> 01:56:26,360
Speaker 2: Also thanks to Jason Martin from Philading for Chris Plank.

2457
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:28,800
Speaker 2: We had to do the shows the last couple of days.

2458
01:56:28,960 --> 01:56:31,120
Speaker 2: Torres had the night off yesterday. By the way, what

2459
01:56:31,200 --> 01:56:35,120
Speaker 2: is it with Torres putting a picture of Warrior's vacation

2460
01:56:35,320 --> 01:56:38,800
Speaker 2: but they won't tell anybody where he's at. It's obviously Hawaii.

2461
01:56:38,840 --> 01:56:43,320
Speaker 2: It's not some secret destination that nobody's ever seen or

2462
01:56:43,360 --> 01:56:44,320
Speaker 2: heard of, you know what I mean?

2463
01:56:44,360 --> 01:56:45,600
Speaker 3: What what is that? Boloney?

2464
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:50,440
Speaker 1: Jason Torres is a unique drink of water. Yeah, he

2465
01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:53,080
Speaker 1: sent me a photo because he wanted me to see

2466
01:56:53,240 --> 01:56:56,360
Speaker 1: like something that had happened on draft night when he

2467
01:56:56,400 --> 01:56:58,440
Speaker 1: was at his wedding or something like that. And so

2468
01:56:58,520 --> 01:57:01,480
Speaker 1: the photo has got like him and his groomsmen or

2469
01:57:01,520 --> 01:57:06,520
Speaker 1: whatever there, and he's like blacked out the faces of everybody.

2470
01:57:06,520 --> 01:57:09,440
Speaker 1: But then in the photo, I'm like, I understand why

2471
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:11,200
Speaker 1: you do this on tighter, but what am I? What

2472
01:57:11,240 --> 01:57:12,040
Speaker 1: do you me?

2473
01:57:12,560 --> 01:57:12,680
Speaker 2: Like?

2474
01:57:12,720 --> 01:57:15,480
Speaker 1: Why why are you? Why are we going full on?

2475
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:20,160
Speaker 1: Like you know, this is the courtroom and I'm the witness,

2476
01:57:20,200 --> 01:57:22,920
Speaker 1: and you've got the blue dot over me? Like, I'm

2477
01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 1: not gonna do anything with the photo. Aaron, you could

2478
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:27,160
Speaker 1: just send me the original. I don't even know the guys.

2479
01:57:27,720 --> 01:57:29,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I did. Maybe maybe that's what it is. Maybe

2480
01:57:29,440 --> 01:57:30,960
Speaker 1: I didn't know the guys, But it's just kind of

2481
01:57:30,960 --> 01:57:34,120
Speaker 1: like the only person that I actually could see the

2482
01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:38,760
Speaker 1: face of in the photo that it wasn't like blacked

2483
01:57:38,800 --> 01:57:41,920
Speaker 1: out was Aaron. And I was just like, I don't

2484
01:57:41,960 --> 01:57:43,280
Speaker 1: know if I should be offended by this.

2485
01:57:44,520 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 2: I love that it's always like so quiet, special mission

2486
01:57:49,120 --> 01:57:51,760
Speaker 2: keeping secret. I mean, first of all, you live in

2487
01:57:51,880 --> 01:57:55,200
Speaker 2: La Why do you fly from the ocean to another

2488
01:57:55,320 --> 01:57:56,880
Speaker 2: place so you can go to the ocean.

2489
01:57:56,920 --> 01:58:01,600
Speaker 3: I don't understand that that why an ocean. Well, you're

2490
01:58:01,680 --> 01:58:02,800
Speaker 3: you're on the beach there.

2491
01:58:02,920 --> 01:58:05,000
Speaker 2: He has the same oce and you're at the beach anyway,

2492
01:58:05,080 --> 01:58:07,720
Speaker 2: so what are you doing? It doesn't make any sense.

2493
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:11,600
Speaker 2: And also thanks to Seger for doing the updates, so

2494
01:58:11,640 --> 01:58:14,080
Speaker 2: we always appreciate that. All right, give us a little music.

2495
01:58:14,200 --> 01:58:16,880
Speaker 2: Let's get to some picks before we get out of here. Obviously,

2496
01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:22,160
Speaker 2: we start with the NBA Finals, Dallas at Boston. I'm

2497
01:58:22,240 --> 01:58:25,680
Speaker 2: rooting for Dallas. I've come to that realization. I want

2498
01:58:25,720 --> 01:58:28,640
Speaker 2: to see the Mavericks win. And I think the Mavericks

2499
01:58:28,680 --> 01:58:31,320
Speaker 2: do win, They're gonna have to win it at home.

2500
01:58:31,440 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 2: I think they win it in six. Too tough to

2501
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:37,360
Speaker 2: win a game seven on the road in Boston. So

2502
01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:39,880
Speaker 2: and I think it's gonna be a good series. There'll

2503
01:58:39,880 --> 01:58:43,000
Speaker 2: be some close games out there, so high scoring two.

2504
01:58:43,320 --> 01:58:45,440
Speaker 2: I think it's like the one to fifteens or higher.

2505
01:58:45,600 --> 01:58:47,240
Speaker 2: So give me the MAVs in six.

2506
01:58:49,360 --> 01:58:53,640
Speaker 1: See, I tend to think you're right. The Celtics. The

2507
01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:56,560
Speaker 1: Celtics are the one team we've heard this now for

2508
01:58:56,600 --> 01:58:59,280
Speaker 1: several months. Yeah, if they don't win the championship. It's

2509
01:58:59,280 --> 01:59:02,560
Speaker 1: been a failure a season, right because it's been them

2510
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:06,280
Speaker 1: the whole year. It's been them in that conference. They

2511
01:59:07,160 --> 01:59:09,440
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, They certainly didn't get full

2512
01:59:09,480 --> 01:59:11,920
Speaker 1: strength versions of the teams that they face going into

2513
01:59:11,920 --> 01:59:14,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They've got guys that's just like, is it

2514
01:59:14,720 --> 01:59:17,080
Speaker 1: finally going to be your time to win all of

2515
01:59:17,120 --> 01:59:18,880
Speaker 1: it now? Or are you're gonna find a way to

2516
01:59:18,920 --> 01:59:22,960
Speaker 1: fall short again? They're running into a red hot Mavericks team.

2517
01:59:23,200 --> 01:59:25,560
Speaker 1: But they're the best team, Like the Celtics are the

2518
01:59:25,560 --> 01:59:29,200
Speaker 1: best team, the deepest team, they play incredible defense, They're

2519
01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:32,000
Speaker 1: the best three point shooting team in the league. Seems

2520
01:59:32,040 --> 01:59:35,640
Speaker 1: like Vegas is on the side of the Boston Celtics

2521
01:59:35,640 --> 01:59:37,680
Speaker 1: as well. So why is it that I find myself

2522
01:59:37,720 --> 01:59:41,320
Speaker 1: thinking the same thing. You are right that this is

2523
01:59:41,400 --> 01:59:43,920
Speaker 1: Lucas time and what him and Kyrie are doing and

2524
01:59:43,960 --> 01:59:46,200
Speaker 1: what they've found with what they did at the trade

2525
01:59:46,200 --> 01:59:49,800
Speaker 1: deadline with PJ Washington and hopefully Lively is going to

2526
01:59:49,880 --> 01:59:52,880
Speaker 1: be good to go and Gafford and all these guys,

2527
01:59:52,920 --> 01:59:56,280
Speaker 1: like they're all contributing on such a high level. If

2528
01:59:56,400 --> 01:59:59,600
Speaker 1: Luca's gonna shoot like that, it may just be He's

2529
01:59:59,640 --> 02:00:03,200
Speaker 1: better than everybody and right now you can't stop him.

2530
02:00:03,240 --> 02:00:06,720
Speaker 1: So I am so torn right now because I think

2531
02:00:06,760 --> 02:00:08,800
Speaker 1: the Celtics are the better team, but I think they

2532
02:00:08,880 --> 02:00:11,880
Speaker 1: might be finding the Mavericks at the wrong time. You know.

2533
02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:14,520
Speaker 2: I definitely like the Mavericks plus the six and a

2534
02:00:14,560 --> 02:00:17,240
Speaker 2: half in Game number one, and I know the overs

2535
02:00:17,280 --> 02:00:19,560
Speaker 2: two fourteen and a half, so I'll probably, like I said,

2536
02:00:19,720 --> 02:00:21,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the over. And I don't think

2537
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:25,360
Speaker 2: I forgot about betting twenty to one that Kyrie might

2538
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:29,080
Speaker 2: be named the MVP. Take Dallas, Yeah, thousand and seven.

2539
02:00:29,400 --> 02:00:31,160
Speaker 2: Gotta win it on the road, my friend. You gotta

2540
02:00:31,200 --> 02:00:33,960
Speaker 2: win it on the road, do it. Thanks to Jason Martin,

2541
02:00:34,040 --> 02:00:37,000
Speaker 2: my friend, for filling on in. I certainly appreciate that.

2542
02:00:37,240 --> 02:00:40,720
Speaker 2: You know who's coming up next on Shaw Big Ben

2543

2544
02:00:44,560 --> 02:00:47,200
Speaker 2: on his plate. All that coming up next here on
