You know, 28 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 5: I think, you know, being in a situation where you're 29 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 5: fighting to find a roster spot. Different teams need different things, 30 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 5: so whatever it is, I try to adapt and do that, 31 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 5: you know. 32 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 3: And it's been tough, man, A lot. 33 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 5: Of times I've I've been told, you know, you're an 34 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 5: NBA player, Like a coach I had actually one year, 35 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 5: you know, being on a two way year at the 36 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 5: bottom of the roster. You made the roster, but you're 37 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 5: kind of the guy that goes back and forth. And 38 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 5: I had a coach tell me one year, he's like, man, 39 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 5: you're an NBA player, Like all you need is an opportunity, 40 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 5: and like almost like was laughing. 41 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 3: I was like, well, you got to give me that opportunity. 42 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 5: Really, I'm just trying to make the most of whatever 43 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 5: this situation is.

Are those fair? 47 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: Those fair criticisms? 48 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 5: You know, my two games this year when I got 49 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 5: called up at the beginning of the year where I 50 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 5: got legitim minutes, I was actually leading in the league 51 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 5: and steals. 52 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 3: So I don't know if I agree with that totally. 53 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 3: So it's tough. There's always gonna be something, man. 54 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 5: I felt like, that's the thing I've been trying to 55 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 5: do in the G League is just show like, oh 56 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 5: you said this wasn't that. That's well, that's not the case. 57 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 5: And some people are always going to say certain things, man. 58 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 5: But I've really got a lot of love and respect 59 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 5: from you know, peers in the league that I really 60 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 5: appreciate and coaches in the league that I really looked 61 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 5: up too. So I think just just trying to find 62 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 5: that opportunity in that right situation. 63 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 6: Man. 64 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: What was your welcome to the NBA moment? 65 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 3: I would say with the with the Lakers. 66 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 5: That was where I started, and that team was Lebron, 67 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 5: Carmelo Rondo, Dwight Howard, and I was just like, I'm 68 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 5: this kid from this small talent Gates city. 69 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 3: I'm like, what am I in some video game right now? 70 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 5: So that that was shocking and something I had to 71 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 5: adjust to for a couple of days. 72 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: Did you get to keep the uniform?

So yeah, it was an honor 81 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 5: being just a part of that and getting to see 82 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 5: some things. 83 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: But are you starstruck on the floor when you're playing, 84 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: like I'm guarding this guy that I grew up watching. 85 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 2: Did you have that moment? 86 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 5: I think in my first year, you know, you just 87 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 5: adjusted that. I think at the end of the day, 88 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 5: we're all competitors and you want to win, and you 89 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 5: kind of flip that switch once you get on the floor. 90 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 5: But there's a level of respect, you know when you're 91 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 5: a little kid and you watch someone and they mean 92 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 5: something to you. They make you love the game that 93 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 5: you're always going to have for those people. 94 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: Do you think you're too good at dunking that it 95 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: overshadowed you as a basketball player, that maybe you were 96 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: looked at as he does that and not maybe being 97 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: fair to your eyes actual basketball game. 98 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 5: I think that that could be maybe something from the 99 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 5: outside of eye. But like these scouts and these teams, 100 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 5: like their job is to know basketball players. So I 101 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 5: think anybody that like knows basketball like that is just 102 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 5: something I got to be a part of, and I'm 103 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 5: incredibly grateful for I'll lean into it, you know, like 104 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 5: that was such a cool thing that I got to do. 105 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 5: There's I'm never gonna be like, oh man, I hate 106 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 5: dunking now because of that. Like that's a beautiful part 107 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 5: of my life.

So I'd already prepared. That's 120 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 5: why I released those dunks onial media because I'd already prepared. 121 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 5: And I was like, well, you know, I teamed up 122 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 5: with a company marketing and I was like, well, I 123 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 5: might as well make the most of this. 124 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: But I'm just was it you weren't on a roster 125 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 2: or is that why they didn't want to in the 126 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: slam dunk contest? 127 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 3: No, I made the Chicago Bulls roster. 128 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 5: Maybe a little bit before that, so I don't know 129 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 5: they told me that it was It was just it 130 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 5: was a weird situation, man. I think they they said 131 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 5: a couple guys didn't want to do it if I 132 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 5: was in it, and I was like, Okay, well I 133 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 5: don't want to ruin that, and. 134 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: Hey, what what Why wouldn't they want to be in 135 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: there because they you were going to win. 136 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I feel like these a lot 137 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 5: of these guys are really talented, so that wouldn't make 138 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 5: sense to me. I mean a lot of things in 139 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 5: this league don't make sense a lot of time. I'm 140 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 5: just going with the flow, man, I really am just 141 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 5: going with the flow. 142 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 6: Off. 143 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 2: How would you do Michael Jordan in his prime you 144 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: in your prime slam dunk contest? 145 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: That's a tough question, Dan. 146 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 5: I think, uh, the times have changed, like kind of 147 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 5: like in the game of basketball, like everything progresses. So 148 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 5: I think if Michael Jordan was in this era, he 149 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 5: would probably have so much different dunks and so many 150 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 5: creative things.

You know, we haven't always yeah, 345 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 9: we we haven't performed in the championship moments. So it'll 346 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 9: be interesting to see how we respond this week. But uh, 347 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 9: you know, we we played uh or we had as 348 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 9: good a non conference wins as anyone in the country. Uh, 349 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 9: and then we went nineteen and three in the Big East, 350 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 9: so you know, and then uh, you know, we won 351 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 9: our first to you know, first two tournament games, but 352 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 9: the figure points. So I do think we're you know, 353 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 9: we're kind of coming in, you know, a lot quieter 354 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 9: than we did in twenty three and twenty four, and 355 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 9: that's probably serves us pretty well. 356 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: I'm curious about the future of the mid major here, Dan, 357 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: because I don't know if these last two years are 358 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 2: an aberration, or is that the future of the blue 359 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 2: Bloods are are going to take over and mid majors 360 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 2: are not going to be what they used to be. 361 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I definitely think that. 362 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 9: You know, I think it's gonna get tougher for mid 363 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 9: majors because I think more high majors are going to 364 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 9: spend more money in this offseason, so I think it's 365 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 9: going to get even tougher. I think to make the 366 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 9: NSAA Tournament, and then I think it's going to be 367 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 9: tougher for the mid majors. But then I also on 368 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 9: the flip side, I think you're going to see even 369 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 9: more international players coming into college basketball. I just think 370 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 9: the inventory is going to grow as it makes more 371 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 9: sense for international players that can make more money in 372 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 9: college in America. And then that I think is just 373 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 9: going to create more inventory of talent that the mid 374 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 9: major you know, ends up with better players and they 375 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 9: could maybe you know, win more of these early conference games. 376 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,719 Speaker 2: But I wonder, though, if you would rather get a 377 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 2: transfer who has proven or you got a high school kid. 378 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 9: I mean, in the perfect world, I'd rather have the 379 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 9: high school kid. And I think the way that we 380 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 9: try to do it is a majority of our team 381 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 9: we want as homegrown boys that we developed a relationship 382 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 9: with we have a culture, We got a real connection, 383 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 9: you got a real fabric of a team, and and 384 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 9: that's supplement with with what you need in the portal 385 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 9: or or at least you know, in most cases have 386 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 9: multiple years with the transfers, so it doesn't feel so 387 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 9: transactional and it doesn't feel like you're just putting together 388 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 9: a mercenary squad. 389 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 2: What's the most money? Somebody has asked you for. 390 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 6: Four and a half million? 391 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 2: I think, how does that conversation go? 392 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 9: It doesn't actually go out with me because I I'll 393 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 9: meet with the agents to talk about the vision for 394 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 9: the player, you know, on the official visit with the 395 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 9: with the transfer or the high school player. They could 396 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 9: sit in on you know, how we plan to develop 397 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 9: the player, how do we use them in the system 398 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 9: or whatever. But once we get to uh, you know, 399 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 9: any type of negotiating, that just goes to the GM 400 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 9: Tom Moore and then uh he just kind of walks 401 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 9: in and out of the boardroom telling me where where 402 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 9: the negotiations going? And then you know, uh yeah, I 403 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 9: try to stay out of that. I don't, you know, 404 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 9: the negotiations get personal. 405 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: How would you do coaching the Yukon Women's team, And 406 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: how would Gino do well coaching the men's team? 407 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 9: Well, I think Yo Gino would obviously do better coaching 408 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 9: the men's coaching the women because you know, you know, 409 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 9: because Gino's maybe you know, the best coach of all time. So, uh, 410 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 9: I would be I don't I would be more relaxed, obviously, 411 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 9: I wouldn't be. 412 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 6: I would enjoy I don't know. 413 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 9: They've won twenty seven or twelve, don't know, thirty games 414 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 9: this year by twenty five points or more. 415 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 6: I don't know how I would handle that. 416 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 9: I don't know what type of stress I would create, 417 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 9: and uh, you know what type of tension could I 418 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 9: create there?

They just wouldn't ring if 675 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 2: they'd ring hollow, and you'd be like, I have no 676 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 2: idea who that is. I follow it and there are 677 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 2: times when I go, I have no idea who that 678 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 2: guy is or who he plays for. I do not. 679 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 2: But man, you look at the money. It's between seven 680 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:36,719 Speaker 2: and ten billion dollars. This is the entrance fee, and 681 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 2: that money will then go to the other owners. The 682 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 2: other owners are going to make probably somewhere around I 683 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 2: don't know, four hundred five hundred million dollars for not 684 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 2: doing anything. You imagine you show up one day and 685 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 2: you look in your bank account and it's got four 686 00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million dollars. He didn't do anything. Man, 687 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 2: great to be an owner Chris and Syracuse. Hi Chris, 688 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 2: what's on your mind? 689 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: Hey? 690 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 4: Thanks for getting me in. 691 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: Dan. 692 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 4: Hey, I got a few things to throw at you, 693 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 4: and also a possible mock headline to be written on 694 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 4: your casket. 695 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. 696 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 4: Vegas can't go with because of the Chicago Bulls. They 697 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 4: can't go with the pit Bulls either. You were talking 698 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 4: about the Pirates center fielders. Non error Now MLB says 699 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 4: it has to be a physical error, not a judgment error. 700 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 4: When your judgment tells you to put your glove in 701 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 4: a certain spot and the ball bounces off the heel 702 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 4: of your glove, that's an error. Just like when your 703 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 4: judgment tells you to run forward after a ball instead 704 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 4: of backwards. Running is a physical activity, it's an error. 705 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 4: And I have to disagree with Robbie Hummel saying he's 706 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 4: never seen a coach only having four players on the floor. 707 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,959 Speaker 4: Let's not forget about that other Husker coach, the legendary 708 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 4: Normandale and Dan, you guys were talking about having your 709 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 4: few in the man cave on your beloved basketball court. 710 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 4: The casket may read former Western Kentucky hilltopper finally passes. 711 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 2: Nice it's eastern Kentucky. We weren't even western Kentucky. They 712 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 2: were good. They were eastern Kentucky. It's very good, Thank you, Chris. 713 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams has submitted four trademark applications related to the 714 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 2: name Iceman, a logo name, and silhouettes that mimic Caleb 715 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 2: Williams pose as he rolls left, jumps and completes a pass. 716 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 2: So George Gervin the Iceman, he has a problem with 717 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 2: this because he is filed for a trademark. He had 718 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 2: Iceman and Iceman forty four. That was his jersey number. 719 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 2: So four days after William's application was filed, George Gervin 720 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 2: his trademark application was also I guess submitted. But he's 721 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 2: been called the Iceman and that was first used in 722 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 2: UH nineteen seventy nine. I actually have the Iceman poster 723 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 2: and ice is he's sitting on a block of ice 724 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 2: and he's these basketballs you know, look like their ice 725 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 2: as well. It's a great, great poster. But I sent 726 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 2: me that autographed a couple of years ago. But I 727 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 2: guess there is a soccer player in Chelsea, right Satan, Yeah, 728 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 2: call Palmer, and he's called Iceman. Well, no, they'll call 729 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 2: him Cold Palmer. 730 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 14: Oh, but his celebration was that sort of like I'm 731 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 14: freezing kind of thing, because like every time he scores 732 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 14: a goal, he's like that was too cold. 733 00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:01,240 Speaker 2: Okay, So Caleb is imitating this soccer player Cole Palmer. Yeah, okay, 734 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 2: So when Palmer scores, he gives you the old shivers 735 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 2: like whoo, and so they call him Cold Palmer. Okay. 736 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 2: I think Chuck Liddell, former MMA fighter, wasn't he known 737 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 2: as Iceman. There's a lot of guys who were laying claim. 738 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 10: To this little naval pilot, Val Kilmer. 739 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 2: Val Kilmer the original Iceman. Oh j yeah, I believe 740 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 2: what else, Paul? 741 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 10: Actually, the timeline would be George Gervin. First, the George 742 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,240 Speaker 10: Gervin's company, Gervin Global Management, thought they had the nickname 743 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 10: trademarked already. They found out they never did. They The 744 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 10: confusion was a death of a business associate who was 745 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 10: tasked to do this years ago and he didn't get 746 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 10: it done. So when Caleb Williams went in to do this, 747 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 10: he had the green light to do it, it was 748 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 10: not already trademarked. And when they realized that they scrambled 749 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 10: the Gervin people to get Iceman and Ice forty four trademark. 750 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 10: The nickname was not self given by Caleb. Kind of 751 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 10: the press did it after he did the Palmer thing. Yeah, 752 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 10: but he already took the logo, and it's kind of 753 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 10: making maybe a clothing line out of this or other things. 754 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're talking about jerseys and hats and sports equipment. 755 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 2: I wear posters, trading cards, sweatshirts. Mmmm, George Gervin is Iceman? 756 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 6: Yeah? 757 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 14: See, I'm looking a little deeper into the George Gervin situation. 758 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 14: You know who had the rights to it, that was 759 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 14: supposed to do it on his behalf and didn't. 760 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 2: Alec Baum's parents. 761 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 13: Damn it. 762 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 2: No, that's I'm confusing my stories. 763 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 3: Wow. 764 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 2: Wow, yes, Okay, this. 765 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 10: Is the question for the room. If you were the 766 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 10: judge in this case and had to decide, how would 767 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 10: you make your decision? 768 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 2: I would say Iceman, you're the original Iceman. You get it. 769 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 2: Cord jerned, but he did make he thought he had 770 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 2: trademarked it. It's not like he all of a sudden 771 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 2: go oh my gosh, I got to trademark that. He 772 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 2: did think that he was filing the trademark papers. There 773 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 2: was a death and they weren't able to He did 774 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 2: not realize that I would. I would give it to Iceman. Yes, 775 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 2: some people. 776 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 10: Use nicknames of people from the past. But if I 777 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 10: refer to you by your nickname and it's more well 778 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 10: known than your actual name, I think it's yours, Tiger Woods. 779 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 10: No one calls him Eldrick. No one says, hey, George 780 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 10: Gervin was on TV today. You say, I saw Ice 781 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 10: Gervin on a TV show. Yeah, I think that would 782 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,360 Speaker 10: be the default judgment. No one goes Iceman Williams of 783 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 10: the Bears. Yeah, No one says that yet. 784 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, but Gervin has you know, he's got some kind 785 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 2: of documentation. He's got a poster that says Iceman on it. 786 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 2: I would just bring the poster to court find him. 787 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 2: I'm saying here it is that there's me. Yes, I do. 788 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 14: I think there's something too. If you bring all of 789 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 14: them into court and line them up and ask the 790 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 14: jury which one of them is Iceman and they point 791 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 14: to George Gervin, They're like, okay, that's clearly you win. 792 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 14: You get the patent. 793 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 2: You do you do a focus group and you bring 794 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 2: the focus group in and say, all right, uh, you 795 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 2: line up Chuck Lddel, you line up Ice Gurvan, you 796 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 2: line up Caleb Williams and go, okay, who is Iceman? 797 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 2: And you point, Now, if I'm if I'm Gervin, I'm 798 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:25,280 Speaker 2: wearing my uniform, I'd be wearing my San Antonio Spurs jersey. Yes, Martin, 799 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 2: that said Ice on the back. 800 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 13: Yes, yes, it doesn't say Ice on the Chicago Bears uniform. 801 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 2: Now it doesn't. 802 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 13: One is iceman. The other one is the guy that 803 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,280 Speaker 13: pretends to be cold. 804 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 2: I would I would come in and do a finger 805 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 2: roll like I would do the little Gervi and finger 806 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 2: roll there, maybe grows hair back, get a fro back. Yes, Pauli. 807 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 10: It's like if I said, oh, I saw I was 808 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 10: watching NFL Network and LT was being interviewed, I'm referring 809 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 10: to who. 810 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 2: Well, that's different because that could be Lawrence Taylor, led 811 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 2: Danian Tomlinson, right, But the those are just initials. 812 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 10: I wonder if either trademarked that for clothes or merchandise. 813 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 2: I don't know, but Abdul Carter also wanted to be 814 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 2: called LT as well. It's weird. He wanted his number. 815 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 2: He'd like to be called LT as well. I think 816 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 2: he's changing his number again. Is Abdual Carter changing his number? 817 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 2: Or did I make that up. 818 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 9: To? 819 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: No? 820 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 2: No, no, no, he can't do fifty six. But I 821 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,920 Speaker 2: don't know. For some reason, I thought maybe he was changing. 822 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 2: He was changing something. All right, let me take a break. 823 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 2: It's time for sausage and peppers. We also have our 824 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 2: little batting helmets with ice cream in it, the nacho 825 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 2: cheese dip. We have crab dogs. Is that what it is? 826 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 2: Oh boy? You guys don't come in sick on Monday 827 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 2: or with his stomach ache, all right, Todd, we'll try 828 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,800 Speaker 2: to avoid that, all right, Everything in moderation. That's the problem. 829 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 13: It's very easy to say those words.
