Everything is great in 85 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: my world. 86 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, what do we got? We got Colloss just bought 87 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 4: the Lakers. 88 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: Well that that's a whole Yeah, you want to talk 89 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: about it. Celebrate winning. We got Shean and Kohlik coming 90 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: up here in mere moments. Meanwhile, Yes, the big story 91 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: of the day, the bus family is entering into an 92 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: agreement to sell the majority ownership of the Lakers to 93 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: Mark Walter, who also has the same agreement with the Dodgers, 94 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: for a franchise valuation of approximately ten billion dollars. Shams 95 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: Trani of ESPN reporting this it is the highest ever 96 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: for a US professional sports franchise. So the Bus family 97 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: is out, well, almost everybody is out. Genie Buss will 98 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: still continue on running the team as the quote governor 99 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: for a quote number of years to be determined. So 100 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: basically what's going on is this, the Bus family is 101 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: cashing out. Genie Buss. Okay, I've been the owner. I'm 102 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: gonna stay for a few more years and still run 103 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: things any day because because Mark Walter is not that 104 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: kind of guy. He's got his finger in a lot 105 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: of pies, right, He's got he's got big pies in 106 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: front of it, all his fingers that he's got a 107 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 1: blueberry pie and a Rudbard pie and Huckleberry pie's. 108 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 4: He's got a Laker pie, got the dog Huckleberry You've won. 109 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 4: He's got all kinds of pies, right, pie pie, pie, 110 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 4: pie pie. 111 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: Right, He's got it all in there, And so she's 112 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: gonna continue to run the team, but the Bus family 113 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: is no longer going to be in control of the Lake. 114 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: They still have a majority of minority share, kind of 115 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: like Mark Cuban selling the Mavericks. We've seen now the 116 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: Mavericks and the Celtics and now the Lakers being sold. 117 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 4: So how big a deal is this? Right? Like, like 118 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 4: on the surface, I could tell you. 119 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: Look, yeah, it is a bummer because I kind of 120 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: like the fact that, you know, mom and pop teams. 121 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: The family aspect of owning a team that's passed down 122 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,559 Speaker 1: from generation to generation is sort of going away, where 123 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: you know, all big hedge fun guys and art dealers 124 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: and whoever else. I own the Mona Lisa, I'm I'm 125 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: gonna trade two paintings for it. That's the eraror now 126 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: of who we're buying teams, And I understand that. So 127 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: that's kind of a sad thing. But in this case, 128 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: it's not incredibly sad because, you know what, the Bus 129 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: family ain't exactly run the Lakers great since they took 130 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: over for doctor Jerry Buss in twenty thirteen. So my 131 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: big takeaway from this, well, yeah, it's sad to see 132 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,799 Speaker 1: the mom and pop is that, and I'm being honest 133 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: this Frostburg is gonna love this. Maybe things will get 134 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: better for the Lakers now, because, yes, they won the 135 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: title in twenty twenty, but that's mainly because Lebron James 136 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: decided to show up as a Laker. This is not 137 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: where oh, we did all these different things, maneuvered the roster. No, 138 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: they got Lebron James to the Lakers. Eighty wanted to 139 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: be there to play with Lebron. They were able to 140 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: grab lat This has not been a run of boy 141 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: the Lakers showing we really know how to run a team. 142 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: They had a five year stretch of not making the playoffs. 143 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: The minute the Bus family took over and Jeanie Buss 144 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: was installed as governor. They have a couple of first 145 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: round exits. They win the title in twenties. I'm not 146 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: saying that's right. They won the title in twenty twenty. 147 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: It's legit. You want to say, Bobo title. It's the 148 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: hardest one to win when you play all season for 149 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: home field, the home court advantage, and you don't get 150 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: that in the playoffs, right, because the biggest thing the 151 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: Lakers lost was home court advantage. They still won the title, 152 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: but outside of that, they had the bit of a 153 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: run to the Western Conference Finals, but it's been first 154 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: round outs. You look at the last twelve thirteen years 155 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: of the Lakers since Doctor Bus passed away and his 156 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: kids took over, and it's kind of you know what 157 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,119 Speaker 1: you would expect Logan roy in succession, right, like, Wow, 158 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: this has really not been a banner last twelve or 159 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: thirteen years. So my big takeaway, Okay, maybe now the 160 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: Lakers can be good and Mark Walter's gonna be clearly magic. 161 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: Johnson is excited, and there's maybe a different way of 162 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: running the team, a different way of looking at things. 163 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: Maybe money is gonna flow a little bit easier, a 164 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: little bit easier decision making. Maybe there's some people in 165 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: the way of making some calls that are harder to 166 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: make when it's talking about getting a player or giving 167 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: money to a player. That's what I got go Hey, 168 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: lots of things are gonna change, But my big thing is, Okay, 169 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: I've seen how the Lakers have been run for the 170 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: past twelve or thirteen years, and now maybe things can 171 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: get better for them with this change in ownership. That's 172 00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: where I'm at. Yeah, a couple of things to it. 173 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: First off, you know, just when we go back to 174 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: the fun and excitement world of Walt Disney World and 175 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: that title, they did have one hundred days off, which 176 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: was good for old legs, old tired bodies like Lebron, 177 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: And it was a long time off, right, That's enough 178 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: time to recover from a shoulder surgery or something like that. 179 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: But all that to say, they do have the title. 180 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: Folks can dislike it all they want. It's kind of 181 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: like home run Leaders. You know from the quote ped Era, 182 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: those guys are still listed as the leaders, aren't. They 183 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: just say it anyway. But when we talk about this, 184 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, the lamentation of the mom and pop operation 185 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: goes both ways, because that's been the lamentation of why 186 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: the Lakers might not have been able to get out 187 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: of their own way at times in terms of player 188 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: acquisition development, et cetera. When we look at it, you know, 189 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: you have the tinfoil hat crew is out already with 190 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: the Well, that's why Luca ended up a Laker, because 191 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: it then pushed the valuation even no, the valuation was 192 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: already set because of the fact that you watched what 193 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: Dallas went for, You watched. 194 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: What the Celtics went for. 195 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: You look at the market, the size, the scope, the brand, 196 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: the history, everything of the Lakers. It's worth that much. 197 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: Doesn't come with anything in terms of stadia, parking and 198 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: all those other accouterments that you normally say, hey, that 199 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: has some great value to us as well, because that's aeg. 200 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: They still control that. But for Walter and Company, they 201 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: take over and we watch it. With the Dodgers, you 202 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: put people who know what they're doing in place, and 203 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: you say what does it cost to win? And you 204 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: go win because winning begets massive amounts of cash. And 205 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: the Sho Heo Tani deal, the Mookie Bets deal, all 206 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: those that they deferred on the Dodger side. I don't 207 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: think the NBA allows the same circumvention or kicking the 208 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: can down the road as it were, but certainly you 209 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: get creative and when you can say, well we need 210 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: to go into the luxury tech and the second aprons 211 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: and all these things that we talk about when it 212 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: comes to roster construction. The thing with the Lakers as 213 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: they've been operating is they didn't have that cash sitting 214 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: in no man's land, right That wasn't a hey, just 215 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: go to the cash reserve. No, the money is actually 216 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: in the banana stand as in the Lakers. That's where 217 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: the money is, right And as much as they get 218 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: from their cut of TV deals and their own network 219 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: and everything else, it's still going back into the business 220 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: and you don't have this giant cash cow on the 221 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: outside to draw from. Walter and Company give you that, right, 222 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: you're talking tens upon tens of billions of dollars that Hey, 223 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: we want to go get that guy. What's it gonna do. 224 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna push us out here to cost more money? Okay, 225 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: as opposed to well, financially, that's not prudent. 226 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 4: We can't do that. 227 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, you can take out home equity loans in the 228 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: form of selling off a percentage and shaking off a 229 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: little like you're at Shawshank. But in this case you say, wait, 230 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: we can get how much to cash out and I 231 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 1: still get to be in charge for a couple of 232 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: years during this transition, and we probably get out of 233 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: Lebron and Clutch Sports and begin a new Oh it's 234 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: a win for everybody. Yeah, look and look, it's a 235 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: great look. It's a great time to sell. Obviously, with 236 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: the franchise being valued at ten billion dollars. You have 237 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: Luca in place to be your next franchise player. The 238 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: new TV deal is in place. It's a great it's 239 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: a great time. It's the end of the Lebron era. 240 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: It's the beginning of the Luca era. And all right, 241 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: this is the perfect You have a superstar in place, 242 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: they have no problem giving him money. Walter's gonna commit 243 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: and say, look, whatever you want, we have it for you. 244 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna be fine. Maybe we'll pay Shohy in Laker 245 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: shares and that's gonna take care of all those balloon 246 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: payments we have in about ten years. But honestly, like overall, 247 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: since twenty thirteen, it's the Lakers brand has taken a 248 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: huge hit. Right you think about it, it seems so 249 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: long ago. But five years in a row of no playoffs, 250 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: they couldn't get it right. And this is with Hobi 251 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: for most of it, right, you couldn't get it right. 252 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: You couldn't keep it going, you couldn't even get to 253 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And yeah, twenty twenty, you get to the 254 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: top of the mountain. You're taking thirteen years overall in 255 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: retrospect and saying, okay, well we had a really disappointing 256 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: first round flame out this year with Luca and Lebron 257 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: and we had the time. So in the last thirteen years, 258 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: it's wow, you know, this has been a they have 259 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: really struggled and when you are and it's like the 260 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: Lakers and the Knick struggles of the last twelve thirteen 261 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: years has really been tough on the NBA because the 262 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: NBA is great when these teams are terrific. Right, you 263 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: saw the excitement with the Knicks finally getting good this year. Yeah, 264 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: they love it, but it doesn't matter. They can market. 265 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 4: They carried in the mix. They carried the mail for 266 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 4: the long time. 267 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: Well now you have Miami is great, and Miami is 268 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: great and Diet Dallas when they're good is great. But 269 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: it's not like having the Knicks in the Lakers. No. 270 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: But then you look at where we're at right now. 271 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: Normally this stuff gets pushed off. It's like, so, what 272 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: do we have today? We have Lebron in this podcast 273 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: and the trickle down effect of that, and we have 274 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: this Lakers move, we still have the finals game. Yeah, 275 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, but you know what, business I feel 276 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: I feel incredibly optimistic just because I look back at 277 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: the last plus decade plus and go not great. Maybe 278 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: this will be better. Maybe different things will shake out, 279 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: different way of running things, different way of looking at things, 280 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: not letting clutch sports run things like they did for 281 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: three four years. Maybe Mark Walter is a guy saying, uh, yeah, no, 282 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: I don't care if Lebron and and and Ad want Westbrook. 283 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 4: I'm not crazy. We're not doing that. 284 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: Oh okay, again, different ways to run things, maybe things 285 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: are different. So this is a moment of optimism. 286 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm. 287 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: Excited if I'm excited for the Lakers because I saw 288 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: the way they run and how how business and the 289 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: way that the Bus family and Jennie Bus runs things, 290 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: and I go, you let Lebron and Rich Paul basically 291 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: run things for a couple of years, and now you're 292 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: finally taking control of the team. But okay, after another 293 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: bad first round exit, another prime year of Lebron, the 294 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: first time you had Luca and it was and it 295 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: was and you were out right away, Like that is 296 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: a really difficult thing to get past when you have 297 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: had star players and you still can't win. You went 298 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: from from Kobe to Lebron to Luca and you got 299 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: one title, right, Okay, not that you need to win 300 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: every year, but it's not like oh, lost in the 301 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals, lost an NBA finals, lost in Western 302 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: Conference finals. This is no playoffs, no playoffs, no playoffs, 303 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: no playoffs. Lost in first round, lost in first round, 304 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: Western Conference finals, lost in first round, lost in first round. Like, 305 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: that's not acceptable, Lakers. It's a different level of what 306 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: you accept as this is the level we need to 307 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: be at and they have been just below it for 308 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: a long time.

Right, what 373 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: a surprise Frostburg picked that? What is suppose you upset about? 374 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: What an absolute shock? I gave you an extra shock. 375 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 4: Uh now, what's he supposed to pick from? I don't know. 376 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 4: An Angels Yankees game? 377 00:17:59,119 --> 00:17:59,479 Speaker 2: Boring? 378 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: Well, the Yankee scored a run. You don't think that's 379 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: a play of the day. They scored today, a couple 380 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: of solo home runs. 381 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 7: I'm up to. 382 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: Having scored since Saturday. It's Wednesday. Come on, man, that's 383 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 1: a big deal. In case you've been under a rock 384 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: in a coma, otherwise detained, the Yankees have finally scored again. Meanwhile, 385 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: we're watching this College World Series game, which is just 386 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 1: all sorts of craziness. So yeah, I mean it is 387 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: just a weird when Arkansas is just absolutely melting down 388 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: in the ninth and against LSU a two run lead 389 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: and they blew a ground ball play at first base. 390 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: The left fielder just misjudged a fly ball that could 391 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: have been the final out of the inning, felt down 392 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: and bounces off of him towards the left field line 393 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: and tying runs scores we saw in the eighth inning 394 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: chaos of the first baseman for SU with a fielding 395 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: gaff just absolutely insane. Everybody who bet under eleven on 396 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: this game, Yeah, you're gonna lose because there's gonna be 397 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: one more run. It's a fine, I'm gonna get one 398 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: more at least one. So Arkansas and LSU with the 399 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: chance waiting in the wings for the College World Series championship, 400 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: eventually the Chanta clears. See because you said shams, but 401 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: it's pronounced chams. Chums, it's chams, but chalmsho it's a champ. Now, 402 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you this gift, Frostburg, even though you 403 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: don't deserve it because you played the bleep in Braize, 404 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give you this gift. 405 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 4: Okay, So since a day ago. 406 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: Right, we had that big MLB the Streak story where 407 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: the guy this MLB dot com has had his contest 408 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: now for the past few years, where all you have 409 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: to do is pick somebody to get a hit every 410 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: day in a row. If you go fifty seven days 411 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: in a row, you win five point six million dollars, 412 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: right like that. That's the thing, and they've done it 413 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: for a long time now. And a guy got to 414 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: fifty a couple of days ago and could have gotten 415 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: to fifty one except a base hit to right field. 416 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: It turns into a force out because the runner gets 417 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: caught between first and second. So what would have been 418 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: a base hit to keep it going was done. 419 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, how much you doing that? Years ago? 420 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: I actually contributed to MLB dot com when they started. 421 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 4: I was terrible. 422 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: So my dad and I taught, and you want to 423 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: do it, and we're doing it together, and I'm so excited. Right, 424 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: It's like, this is good. We're gonna do this every 425 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: day and we're gonna take turns. Right, we're gonna take turns. 426 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: I go, you pick one day, I'll pick the next. 427 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: That's the best way to do it. So I said, 428 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: you picked the first day. All right, Now, I'm gonna 429 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: give each of you a guess. Who did my dad. 430 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 4: Pick the first game today? Right? 431 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: I said, here's the one I'm picking, And I said, okay, 432 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: who's either a Judge or a Stanton guy? 433 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 4: Who do you think my dad picked? 434 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: I will give you each two guesses to guess who 435 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: my dad this is. I can pick anybody any time 436 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: in life. No, Dad, you gotta pick somebody today. 437 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 4: They're all simulated games, right, you each get two guesses. 438 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 6: I'm going Volpian Bellinger, Vopian Belinger, Okay, Harmon. 439 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: I would say Judge okay, and Chisholm, No, you are 440 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: both incorrect. Remember I said Frostburg, I just named like 441 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: half the line. I know I'm gonna give you this 442 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: gift even though you don't deserve it. So I'll let 443 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: you guys guess again. You guessed four Yankees, none of 444 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: them were correct, and Rice not. Why would that be 445 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: a gift for Frostburg. 446 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 4: I don't know. This is a gift for Frostburg even 447 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 4: though you don't deserve it. What oh so he no? Really? 448 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 4: Hold on. 449 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: Pie, my dad took Andy Paus to get the hit 450 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: tonight to start things off for the thing. He goes, yeah, 451 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: I got it my first But Andy Potsus, I said, really, 452 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: I said, you're not taking it? 453 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 4: Wow? 454 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: He goes, no pie judge. I said, yeah, it turned 455 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: out so far it's okay, right. 456 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 5: So. 457 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, but the way he worded that was was very 458 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 4: not good. 459 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 6: What do you mean it was not good because you 460 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 6: worded it like he took a yankee. 461 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 4: No, that's why we were all guessing yankee. Why? But 462 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 4: I said, it's a gift for you. Why would a 463 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 4: yankee be a gift for that? 464 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 6: I think. 465 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 4: You must be an impossible for a birthday. 466 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: But it was just that it would it be a 467 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: captain obvious kind of thing, like he had to take 468 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: a yankee. 469 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 6: No, I thought he was going with the heel turn. 470 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 6: I thought, I honestly. Once he said it again, I 471 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 6: thought you were going to say, Paul. 472 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: Goldsmith, he's just up going pause. I said, okay, two 473 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: runs four hits last night.

By the way, the over under was 477 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: ten and a half. 478 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 4: For you. 479 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: If you thought Frostburg was kidding. Lsu Is just walked 480 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: off Yes, winning tonight when it looked like all was lost. 481 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: All you need was Arkansas to play defense in the 482 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: top of the ninth inning. I have not seen Livy Dunne. 483 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: I'm waiting to say, I where is I. I assume 484 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: she's gonna be somewhere by it.

But is that really gonna happen or 831 00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: really gonna be talking about that, or is he gonna. 832 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 4: Be playing in game? 833 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: The more time that goes on, Okay, he's at practice, 834 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: he's shooting m R. 835 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 4: We've heard nothing. 836 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: M or right, it was a big thing Searm's had 837 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: you got MRI m Riri right, Okay, So apparently the 838 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 1: MRI is okay. Apparently everything is all right, and he's 839 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: he's at practice shooting, making shots and taking it easy 840 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: to go play tomorrow night. I mean, the more time 841 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: I see this, the more I look at it as 842 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: is this one of those mental health breaks that the 843 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: team is trying to give him because they need him 844 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: at his top capacity for game six? And yeah, you 845 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 1: are dinged up a little bit. I'm not saying he's not, 846 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,959 Speaker 1: but other guys are dinged up, and we really want 847 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 1: this out there because hey, this is kind of an 848 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: excuse as we could say why Tyre's Halliburton didn't play 849 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: as well as he did. Right again, I'll be the 850 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 1: most shot guy in the world if he doesn't play 851 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: tomorrow night. I'll be the first guy to say while 852 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 1: I was wrong, and I'm gonna say, hey, what are 853 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 1: the pacers doctors doing? 854 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 4: But again, I don't see that happening. 855 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, you look at his over unders and everything total 856 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: points and rebounds and everything else. 857 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 4: The expectation it's set high. 858 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: Enough to like, all right, he's going and you would 859 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 1: expect he's gonna play MRI is clear, but still a 860 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,240 Speaker 1: game time decision. It does open up all of those 861 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,439 Speaker 1: discussion points and defensible for Indiana in putting him back 862 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,359 Speaker 1: on the court because they did close it to two. 863 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 4: Now was he responsible for that. 864 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: No, but they did close it to two, So you 865 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 1: want to say, well, we had our best guys out there, 866 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: even though he was not their best guy on that night. 867 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,879 Speaker 1: Passive what for six from the field, just the four 868 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: free throws and really took himself out of a lot 869 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: of possessions, something we talked a lot with Rick Buker 870 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: about the other night. So for Indiana trying to change narrative, storylines, 871 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: et cetera. Yeah, I guess they can defend their game 872 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: five position. But if he doesn't come out and play, 873 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 1: and if he plays poorly, you're gonna keep trying to 874 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 1: go while he's hurt and he plays another thirty four minutes, 875 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: like you've got to have another answer. Someone has to 876 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: be better than him at half masted. Yeah, I mean 877 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: really again, if he doesn't play, else, say hey, wow, 878 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,240 Speaker 1: did I He's gonna play tomorrow night?
